Can I fit 215/40/17 tires on my 200sx? I have spacers to make the offset 39. Thanks

What is your offset? I am happy to hear it can be done. I want a little wider tire to help keep the rims a little safe from curbies.

Sorry, I also have no idea what the offset on my wheels are (they were on the car when I bought them). I can tell you that the tire is flush with the car though.

Wow....how much extra weight are those things?!?!:eek: I would guess a more than the stock rims and 195/55 Kumhos. :cool: Your off the line might suffer some, eh?

Yeah they're pretty heavy. But I have my 15" Rotas for racing.

Well I ordered some Kuhmo 215/40/17 from tirerack. They called up and said they did not recommend them that big. I said it's ok and they are on there way.
