205/40/17's son...

Same size wheels and Tires I have, from the info I recieived from everyone else on this site, there are NO rubbing problems... I also used a tire calculator and found that the speed traveled with the new wheels and tires at 70mph with old setup is about 71mph with the new wheels and tires.

I've had both 205/40/17 and 205/45/17 tires with a ~ 1" Eibach drop and have had no problems whatsoever.

Hey there,
from my opinion, u should try 215/40/17 or just incase u have lowered ur car 215/35/17 will be just fine, dude.....

I would say, get a 215/40/17 tire... 205/40/17 is ok, but the ride will be pretty rough.. I mean it will be ruff regardless but you get the idea.

Don't bother with 205/45/17 ... uhh uhh that's to much sidewall..

cool thanx bruce

I wish i had 215/40/17's... A wider tire would be niiiiiiiice... and maybe I wouldnt scratch the rims when parking... hmmm...
