Reasonably priced tires? I hope I'm not breaking any rules for putting this on here, but I purchased some 17" tires for $53 apiece from www.tire-easy.com. they are z rated and look good. Maybe they'd have some in your size, too.

That is bullsh*t. Discount tire's liability specifically excludes work on wheel SPACERS, not adapters. I went through this with the manager. Most of the morons working there don't know the difference. Unless the policy has changed within the past year.

Which tire did you buy? All Z rated tires are not created equal. If you want an entry level tire, go for a Nitto or Kumho for $100 each.
