Use 215/40, its far the best. 1) u don't oversize but actually undersize, so u won't overspeed 2) looks fat and its all good 3) no rubbing thank you

i'm thinking of just keeping the 215/45. and flaring the guards instead.

that's the spirit

215/45 17's work perfect on mine. Although I am getting the slightest of slight rub on the front drivers side (but I have to be pushing very hard and hit a major sharp dip in the road). It seems the spring on that corner has settled approx 6mm more than the other 3. The guys that did the suspension are thinking it's just a bad spring & will probably replace it. The others are perfect no rubbing even with 3 in the car.

Had my speedo tested by some cops with a radar gun this morning. These guys are always parked out front of work as there is a Ford performance place up the road and a lot of idiots.

I told them I had just done my wheels and was concerned it put my speedo out so they said drive by at 60 and they would pop their laser on me. At exactly 60 on my speedo ( I flashed my lights) they said I was doing 60 on their readout. Spot On :D

Oh and the to cops loved my wheels, but said they do not want to see me speeding around here :(

always fun the test the speedo on radars. i have used the roadside trailers which light up with the speed you are going and gives you a smiley face.

technically speaking a zze123 sportivo which is running 215/45-R17 at 60 kph is actually 60.42 kph.

if you were to downsize to 215/40-R17 at 60 kph is actually 58.32 kph. sorry i know this has been covered in past topics.

hey, lucky you! Wish they'd test mine without inspecting my car... so scared of those guys, afraid they'll ***** me for anything and everything <_<
