ive had 215 45 17 spSPORT 9000 Dunlops with a guard wall for to protect the rims and they were very close to the guard. IF you ookd behind the car they would stick out of the mud flaps

[MR22ZZ]

the widest are 215/40r17... or 205/45r17

note that not all 215 tires are 215mm wide, some are wider, some are narrower.

the offset of the rims also plays a big role here too.

[SyxXPaC]

The 215 45 17 are wider the 205 dylan. ALso provide much more comfort and grip.

THey are also just as close to the stock tyre stock as the 205's

[BanGn]

whats the max tyre sie u could go at the rear for 17's? would 225/45 or 225/40 fit without rubbing?

[SyxXPaC]

I tried to get 225s for the rear but it is like an inch out of the rear mud flaps.

[BanGn]

does that mean itll run the guard?

[MR22ZZ]

why have wider tyres on the rear, it will just add more understeer which is what you are trying to reduce in these cars. On the front I could understand for better drive though.

[BanGn]

looks better...

the spoon civic and integras do it...

[trd]

i am just concering about the front not the rear as the car is FF. would it be safety to use 225/45/17 for all corners with out hitting the guard and the mud flap?

when you do 100km/h you'll be doing 102.5km/h with 225/45/R17

you'll have sidewall deflection also, plus the cornering ability won't be as good I think.

It's comfy fair enough, but yeech...I wouln't do it.

When I grab 17's I'm getting 215/40.

215/40, They are quite expensive and it is not availiable in all the brands since it is not a common profile. I did a search for it before.

Not too expensive Sheldon...

Yokohama a.drives are in 215/40 and are $250 ea I think...(the ones I'm already running, which are very good, but promise to be awesome in 215/40 on a 17in rim with less sidewall flex etc).

Toyo Proxes also have a wide range in 215/40 as well.

Bridgestone have nothing in the 215/40 range for the Potenza's unfortunatley. I understand my speedo will be put out a little as a result, but ultimately this seems to be the better profile for handling w. 17's, but it's only marginal.

Wheel offset plays a HUGE role.

There's 215/45 R18 89W for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, maybe they have it in 17s? They are good tyres, even the Ferrari F430 uses them as OEM :P If anyone wants 225/45 R17 ultra-high performance tyres for track and street i have Potenza RE070s, stiffer sidewall than any other tyre you can get on the market ;)

Me - "Heh...yeah...heh...:S"

Not too sure what I'll get next time yet. lol. godfather is a bridgestone dealer so yeah...

[BanGn]

i know who u got those tyres off zee :P

If I grab 17x7.5 I'm even contemplating 225/40...if I can find them.

[CAP]

I think when it comes to changing my tyres I'll try and go for 225/45's.

[Dead]

could still be 215/40 for me man

NO ONE makes 225/40 in australia rofl, dare I say the whole of oceania...or the world? lol

225/45 will be pretty chunky on a 17 :( I'll run some calculations...

EDIT: I'm running 205/55 on my stock 16's atm, and the 225/45R17 will be 3mm taller and a 20mm wider also :S

I reckon the 205/55 look phat...but 225/45 will be phat as man. Speedo is put a bit too. when you're doing 100km/h it's really doing 102.2km/h.
