it was lowered, but im putting the suspension back to stock, i have aftermarket 17's..want to know if these will fit or if i should go for 45's?

I use 225/45/17 on my 7" wide rim.

If your using a 17x7 rim, 215/50 will be fine.

215/50/17 is what came standard on a GSX, so that's actually the best size in terms of trying to stay close to OEM spec tires. I actually run 225/45/17 on my car though. =D

I also run either 215/50/17 or 235/45/17 just depends on what I find a good deal on at the time when I need to change them.

I have a 2" drop and run 225/45/17's on 17x7 rims with no problems at all.
