what to put on tirerack.com
#3
I've complained to Tire Rack about this flaw in their search mechanism. You must put in '04 Automatic transmission to ring up 17" wheels. Only problem then is that the 17" selection is too narrow when you do this.
After complaining several times, they passed me to a manager who explained that for liability reasons, they do not allow "aggressive" fitment and selection using their online search catalogue. You must call them and place your request in person.
DiscountTire allows for a diameter/width/lug pattern and offset search. So does EdgeRacing. TireRack told me straight up that they sell a lot of wheels and tires as-is and that they don't need to change their method of allowing customers to shop. I still buy tires from them- often, but I purchased my wheels at EdgeRacing due to the convenience of their website- I didn't want to have to sit with a TireRack salesperson all day asking if they had X wheel in X diameter and X width and X lug pattern- for around $200 each please, oh and no more than 20lbs each too while you're at it.
