Ive done a search on this, and I keep reading two different things. Everyone either says 215/45/17 or 225/50/17. So what does everyone think? Im planning on lowering my car with a Tokico blue shock and spring set (its like 1.5" drop) with 17x7 rims. Please post pics of either tire size if you have them.

you can't really see the tires that well in this pic, but this is stock height with 215/45/17



lol what a waste, you can't even see the tires.

215 45 or 205 40's for 7" width

I have 215/45/17's

what about 225/45/17?

Right now im stock hieght wth 16x?? i forgot but i have 22/50/16 they handle great,i plan on getting 18's with 235/40/18

I have 225/45/17 BFG Comp T/A's on my Talon at stock height. The rolling dia. is only .2" different than the original 195/70/14's. You should be able to run that size and drop with no problems.

Yeah 225 is fine, I roll on 225/50/16 and I love how they do their job. I wont go lower then 225 from now on.

225/45 is for 8" width. don't use 225's unles your rim is 8" wide or better.

And don't forget about offset. Not enough and you are guaranteed to rub! Too much and you may get tagged for the tires sticking too far out of the wells! As well as looking really STUPID! I think that the stock steel wheel offset is +46. Not sure about the alloy offset though. Could be the same... :cheers

I'm on 215/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions.
