what size tires are you guys running?

i was thinking of either a 225/45 or a 235/40.

I am leaning more towards the 45 though because I want some more meat up front now. I think it would be okay since I will be using a 17x7 rim.

I have 225/45 only because Nitto drag radial doesnt come in 235. I had 235/45 on my last set of rims with no issues.

235/45's on mine, they work rather well, when my eclipse runs that is

My car isn't gray, the paint is just fading.

I will get a few picts tonihgt Mike. The rims i have now are 7 inch wide. The Niche's i have with the 235's were 8" wide. The NT-01's dont come in a 235 tire.

215/45. IMO, the brand/model of the tire makes more difference then that extra centimeter of tread width

225's are a bit big for 17x7 235 is crazy . im on 17x7 running 215/50/17 . I used to have 215/40/17's and i gotta say the extra sidewall meat makes the car feel amazing . it is way smoother of a ride
