Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Tire Size?

:cornut:I like 215 x 45 R17s but most people around here are much more knowledgeble than I am and they'll be here shortly.

Assuming a 7 inch rim:

Stock size is 205/45/17.

I like 215/40/17. Slightly wider with a shorter/stiffer sidewall making for a more precise response.

If you are not lowered and depending on the offset, 215/45/17 should work resulting in slightly softer ride.

 

(Hey, I'm still working on my 16" run-flats!!)

 

Jerry hit it on the head.

 

Ran the 215/40's and going for the 215/45 this time.

 

I've though about going to 215/45, but I figure if it ain't broken, why try fixing it.

 

I run 215/45 to keep my speedo reading correctly. For track tires I wouldn't caer though. The shorter profile gives you a gearing advantage as well.

 

215/45-17s here. Keep in mind not all tires from different makers are the same size. Width wise anyway..
