rims and tire size...

[42na2cb7]

hey guys im not familiar on tire and rims sizes and im planning to buy a rims and tires.. here are the size.. tires is 205/40/17 rims is 17x7 4x114.3 do this mean that the rims is 4lugs?

guys please help.. i need to know if this is right...

yee 4x means four lugs and anything like 5 or six means that many lugs. Someone correct me if im wrong.
thanks

Tire
205/40/17 = A/B/C
A = width in mm (how fat they are looking at them dead on)
B = wall height (how big the tire profile is)
17 = Inner tire diameter (rim size)

rim
17x7 = DxF
D = diameter
F = tire width in inches

pattern 4x114.5 = GxH
G = number of lugs
H = spacing between lugs (ours are 4x114.5)

hope this helps

so it means that this rims will fit on my cb7?? is that right??? coz im not sure if its the right size.. i wanna know if its fit...

H = spacing between lugs (ours are 4x114.5)

Really?... I thought it was 4X114.3

Holy shit, lordoja spelled it out for you.
Only thing he messed up on is that ours are 4x114.3, not .5. But, that was probably just a typo.

They will bolt on, and the tires are a good size (though I would prefer a 45 aspect ratio, not 40... I had 40 and dented the shit out of my wheels... the aspect ratio is lordoja's "B" above.)

You need to know the offset of the wheels to know if they'll fit properly, though. If the offset is somewhere around +38 to +42, you'll be fine.

okay, thanks guys.. I appreciate the answers...

B is more throughly explained below.

From tire rack:

Sidewall Aspect Ratio
Typically following the three digits identifying the tire's Section Width in millimeters is a two-digit number that identifies the tire's profile or aspect ratio.

P225/50R16 91S

The 50 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 50% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall. We know that this tire size's section width is 225mm and that its section height is 50% of 225mm. By converting the 225mm to inches (225 / 25.4 = 8.86") and multiplying it by 50% (.50) we confirm that this tire size results in a tire section height of 4.43". If this tire were a P225/70R16 size, our calculation would confirm that the size would result in a section height of 6.20", approximately a 1.8-inch taller sidewall.



I believe H is more correctly defined as the diameter of a hub-centric circle that all of the holes are drilled on. As others have stated, it is 114.3mm or 4.5 inches.

haha yea it was, im not used to the number pad =/

i knew i was forgetting something!

width that is ^^^^!
