Does any one know if  

215/45/17 tires on 17x 7 motegi knockoffs that came off a honda  accord will fit my 92 xr2 with brake upgrades on the front?

205-40-17

only one that will fit..

shit, that sucks, thought I'd latched on to some sweet ones.

always good sets out there..

buy them..sell the skins if you like the rims..then get new tires..

i got my tires for 285 installed..i sold the skins for over half that and they were used..so 150 for 4 new tires is not bad when you think about it

good thoughts there, what wont fit on the tires, the hieght or the width, don't they make any spacers or some thing?
I ordered up some lowering springs, will the struts on the car work ok for them? The ad states that it will lower the car 1.25" front and rear. The car just had new struts and mounts put on it when I bought it.
I remember that someone said something about having to install a new control arm or something like that, I was just going over all the old stuff under suspension and couldn't find it, any ideas?

the tires hit the strut mounts

spacers will make them stick out of the car..My 17s were flush and they were 17x7JJ

If you want to run 17s then 205-40-17 is only option unless you want to look like this

shooooot bro, that looks sweeeeet as hell!

Maybe's I's do wnat to look like that!!!!

I just took the spoiler off my car and sold it to dude, it looks naked as hell, I saved the XR2 badge.

In about a month when he is done with the body kit, (the red racer kit) I will take some shots.

Then it will be lowered, with new rims and tires, along with the also body kit, it should look sweet!!
ghost, I haven't had a chance to look on line yet, I'll get back to ya.
