Would i run into any issues?

Have no idea what all those numbers mean. 17" diameter, 9" width, 5x114mm bolt pattern, got that.

-10mm is the offset? I don't think that'll work, without looking kind of funny and sticking out a lot (unless that's what's the look you want). The stock wheels are +45mm offset. With the wider wheel and negative offset, the outer edge of the wheel will be almost 3.5" further out than stock.

I don't know the 4.61" measurement, but the last one looks like the hub diameter. I'm not super familiar with this stuff, but the stock wheel bore is 64.1mm, so you may need an adapter.

Wheels
- HD Wheels: "Cool Down" (Finish: Machine Black. Universal 5lug)
- 17x7.5 +42
- Craigslist: $220 for wheels, deep set lugnuts and key

Tires
- SierraDial Delta A/S
- 235/65/17
- Lodge Tire (City-Tire) About $650 for the 4, mounted, etc, and
i had them test fit before I bought as well as patch all the slow leaks in the other tires.

- Still fresh, but no complaints. Ride seems a little softer than the duelers were, but time will tell. No rubbing driving normally, i guess we'll see if I hit a big bump, but from what I can see and have measured, there should be plenty of clearance.

Wheels and tires look great on there !

E looks good with the 17's! I am torn between 16's or 17's. Is the 235/65/17 a decent size for these wheels? Any bumps or rubs? I will be deciding hopefully mid-next week, but damn...tough decisions. Haha.

I thought I posted in this thread a while ago... But just looked and I guess I didn't.

Rims:TSW Nurburing 19x8
Offset: +35
Tires: continental extreme contact dw
Size: 245/45r19

Very happy with this setup. Cornering is unreal! Night and day difference. Straight line was an noticble improvement ,but not as much as the cornering. I think these tires perform even better in the wet. So far the wear seems to be great.

Darth,

I haven't had any rubbing except for occasionally one little spot on the bottom outer edge of the wheel well, drivers side, but that's because my bumper is sagging a tiny bit from a fender bender it was in before I bought it. You shouldn't have an issue. I'm still loving this new setup and have no complaints.

Did anyone respond to this. I have same E and also was wondering about the 235x75-16 tires for mine.
