Default Need to find wheels

I drive a 05 enthusiast 350z and i recently got a set of toyo proxies because my other wheels were almost bald lol and now im looking into getting a set of Rays wheel but i cant find any that fit the tires i just got. Do i just need to get new tires and wheel or do u think i could find the right sizes somewhere. The sizes i need would be 17x7.5 for the front and 17x8.0 for the back.

You are the first person I have met who buys tires and then looks for rims to fit them. It depends on what Rays wheels you are talking about getting, I THINK I seen a thread where someone got 17" volks for auto x. I'm pretty sure he meant to do it though and had it pretty well thought out. If I was you, I would scrap whatever you have going on and buy a wheel/tire package.

If the tires fit the wheels you can put used tires on new wheels sure. Most shoppers get wheels first. Remember you are going to keep the wheels not the tires.

If you're gonna buy wheels... 17x7.5 and 17x8 are the biggest mistake you'll ever make... besides buying tires first, that is.

As others have said, just sell the tires and start over. 17" tires couldn't have put you out all that much. Sell them at 75% of new and start again.
