Well I finally found a set of chrome pt 17x6 chrome 5 spokes and they have pirelli 205/50s on em.
Is it gonna rub or cause issues?

what struts are you on? if you have srt struts i think you will be fine, but regular neon will rub

Makes no difference what springs you have, its the strut that matters. And as they said it'll prob rub in the back i think. Beat it with a hammer til it doesnt rub

alright gentlemen,
I bought the wheels minus tires because i didnt want to fuck with it. Going to pick them up monday morning $75 makes me <3 craigslist.

so which tires are recommended with my setup and a 17x6 rim or am i going to have to swap struts or beat something to near death?

many people have put 205/40 on a 17x6. can't say i'd do it, but others have.
