#12881, "Wheel Max...Tire Question..."


          

Hey,

I'm planning on purchasing a wheel/tire package from wheelmax this week. I know this has been posted before but the answers weren't clear. The tires are kumhos and come in size of 205/40/17. Is this a good size or should i go with 215's? I am still at stock height. Thanks!

I just got my wheels from wheel max. 205/40/17 is a bit thin (people like how it looks) but your speedo will be off a bit. So I paid 50 bucks extra to get 215/45/17. I was thinking about 225/45/17 but was afraid the sidewall would look too big. Which rims are you gettin?

I have 225/45/17 (Phantom HRX), Sidewall doesn't bulge much or at all (front yes because of the weight of the engine), but not much. They look good.

Hey I just got the exel tz-10 with 215/45/17. Do you have any idea how much they weigh? They seem to be lighter than my stock 16's///

I'm getting the ADR RPM rims in white, 17 inch. Only $699 with tires!I'm still debating between the 205 size or the 215. I'm guessing the 215's are stronger? And how would it affect my speedo? Sorry for all the dumb questions but I dont' know much about tires and rims. Thanks guys...
