i have a chance to get a set of 17 x 7.5 rims...

they have a 225/40/17 series tire on them

i know that the 7.5 is a little wide,,,so i wanted to make sure what i would need to do to make them fit on the neon peon...

do i just need a small spacer or do i need more then that?

i dont know the offset to them... and i will try to get a pic of them up in the next couple days

but i wanted to ask everyone where

and BTW i am lowered on 1st gen springs.. bout 2.25" drop!

as far as i thought, 205 was the biggest we could have..but i could be wrong..

Find out out the offset. You might be able to run 225s but if the offset is to much you could rub.

nope wont work, i had 225/40 R17s on my cavalier and wanted to switch the rims over, tires cleared the front struts, but the back do not. the highest you can run is a 215/45/R17 thats what i have on mine and only like 1/2inch from the strut.
