I was thinking about getting some new rubber and a really good price came up on 205/40R17s. The only problem is they are dinky ass tires (almost an inch and a half smaller then the tires I've got). Does anyone have any pics of them on their ride?

This is my 97 Talon with 225/45-17 Dunlop FM901's. A little larger than the ones you mentioned. I post them because they are only 0.2" difference in dia. from stock which was 195/70-14.

sorry the pic is so large...

They're not tall, they're too short. They threw my speedo off by 5-7mph. I have 225/45/17's now. 215/45/17s will also work and keep your speedo in check. My sig pic is with the 205/40/17s if you can see them. I had a 1.5" drop and it looked like stock ride height with them.

I have 205/40/17 on right now and I like them better then what i had before (225/45/17). They are pretty damn skinny but I like em. I have had them on my car for only about 6 months though.
