Should i trade my 16"inch for 17"inch rims & tires?

[907gs-t]

Was wondering if i should trade my set of 1998 Eclipse GS-T 16"inch Chrome 5 star rims with Goodyear Eagle GS-H 205/55/r16 tires for a set of 17X7"inch with a 35mm offset Chrome 16 spoke Katana rims with Riken Raptor 225/45/Zr17 tires?Let me know what you think should i trade straight across or not.

Thanks

Personally I would do the trade. 17's wil fill up your wheel wells a little better, even though those 2 rim/tire combo's are only Fractions of an inch different in size, the 17's will look better IMO. I've got a set of 16x7.5 +38 Mille miglia actions that I'm hoping to trade for some 17's eventually.

Thats like asking a girl which had she rather have, a 7" dong or an 8" dong. Its all personal preference and why are you trying to please other people, do what you want. I hate these types of questions.

that inch will look better in there, but your looking at a little more of a traction issue due to the smaller wall of the tire.

If i were you, id do it, im trying to find me a set of 18"s for my eclipse but im picky

I didnt like the stock 16" 5 star rims that came on my 96 eclipse so I bought 17" rims off a 2001 eclipse for $220 with tires. They look soooo much better IMO. One of the best and cheapest mods I did.

i think you should keep the ones you have and get some 18's
