well..i havent seen 15" MR7s just 17", i would think it would look nice

I dunno about 15's, there would be soooooo much space around the wheel, it'd kinda look funny, especially without the car lowered. Unless you're buying used, 17's would look 100X better, just like on that car pictured.

240 loves 17', and 17' loves 240s:spin:

if 17' love 240 and the same the other way around.. would 18's be obcessed about em?? :dunno:

I just put 17s on my car after driving with 15s for the past 8 years. The 17s do look much nicer and they fill up that wheel well pretty well. The stock 240 (at least the S13) has way to much wheel gap however. It really does need to be lowered a bit still. But either way, the 17s are much smoother. Make sure you really want those 15s before you go there. I think we all pretty much agree on this one.

Good luck,
Matt

Amen. The wheel gap in my s13 is insane, ever after i've dropped it 1.9". Even with 17's it doesn't look filled.
Don't do 15's for price because they are cheaper. they just look funny, especially with a low profile tire.

Seeing as a stock 95 SE has 16"ers with meaty tires, I think 15's wouldn't look right.

Go with 17"s or you'll be kicking yourself in the you know what the second you drive by an S14 with 17's and you see how much better it looks. :thumb:

drnovascotia Nov 7, 2003 07:18 AM

yeah, and those stock 16" aren't low profile tires, imagine low profiles in there, ewww. The s13's only have 15's. 15" rims fit better in civics, our cars scream 17's or 18's baby!

Dr.

Yeah, I don't know who made the choice to put 15s on our cars but it just doesn't make any sense. I would have gone at least with a 16 for the stock 240. Oh well, not much we can do about that.

One thing is for sure, if you put low profile tires on this car without a drop, many times it'll look worse. My opinion is you have to go 17 or 18 with a good drop for the best look.

Tires are still a little chunky... I'm looking to upgrade mine to some nice 17/18's soon
