Wheel curious?
Wheel curious?
If I was to put 17x7.5 wheels on an 04 Crossfire for wintertime with an offset of 42 I should be fine whether it was on the front or back am I right?? The front tires would be 225/45-17. The backs would be 225/50-17. Just curious if someone can help a friend out here with this I'd really appreciate it!

I'm just trying to help him out researching some stuff on here. He's wanting to put smaller size rims on for winter hence cheaper winter tires possibly. Idk I'm thinkin the wider tires might make the car want to hover more like on ski's??? I figure if he's got the bite then he should be alright with this size.

Yes, wider is not better in snow. You can use this tire size calculator to find a different tire with the same circumference by entering the existing tire info here : Tire size calculator
