Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Default 17" on elantra?

Would they fit? Im looking to get a pair of ankei 17", with yokohama puradas, but i feel that the 17's might be little bit too big on my car...any suggestions?

I've got a 97 Elantra with 17x7.5 wheels and 205/40 Paradas. I just suggest a wheel that is a direct fit, instead of spacers. Just my opinion. Good luck!

I would NOT reccomend the Paradas. Go with Kuhmo's. They are cheaper and better grip.

Tirerack.com for the Kuhmo's.
Mad House Productions for the springs.
I think their site is MHP.com.

Actually it's www.mhptuning.com wink.gif

Tire Rack will allow you to purchase the tires, AND either Eibach, or H&R springs and shocks/struts and other suspension components. Another place for tires is www.discounttiredirect.com

Good luck!
