SSW wheels

Anyone have these SSW inferno wheels, black with the chrome lip?http://www.wheeldiscount.com/product...inum=1&large=1 I saw them at edgeracing.com and I like how they look as they have a similar spoke style to the neez eurocross without the crazy price. They are 17x7 with an offset of +42, what tires shud I run on them and will they rub wit M7 springs? All opinions welcome!! Thanx!

i'd do 205/45/17's or 215/40/17's.

wheeldiscount looks like to be a Falken dealer, so if this is your commuter
i would try their Ziex512's. (not sure if they have that tire in those
sizes. if not 215/45/17). you *might* rub with 215/45/17, but chances
are very good you won't rub.

205/45 is dealer size.. 205/40 would be too small and too low load rating, as well, less side wall means easy to damage the wheel

i'd say 205/45 or 215/45, both of which are either stock size or close to it..

that wheel looks awesome btw
