215/45 or 215/40??

[swollen_cu]

Hey guys I am about to get my coils in next week and was planning on dropping it like the car pictured below, but with the front a tad lower to make it even.(whoever is the owner of this car, please tell me if you do not want the picture there, I will remove it).

I am about to order some 17x7.5 +45 Rota Grids and was wondering what tire size should I run? a 215/45 or a 215/40? I had 215/40 on my old 17" Racing Hart c2's and the tires seemed kinda small, hence the reason why i think of going with a 45 series tire.

45s should be fine

^ yeah I was thinking the same thing. Going with Hankook HRII's.

i run 21545 but I am going to do 22540 soon

i run 21545 but I am going to do 22540 soon

like i said, i had those on my 17" racing harts before, and they dont fill the side to side wheel gap very well.

215/45 or 225/45

For 17's a 45 profile is correct and best 215/45/17
Some have gone with 205/40/17 also which is ok if you want a little more cushion

personally i go with 215/45/17 biffer tire give you a little more comfer. i wouldn't go with 225/45 cause it too big, and i think it going to be heavy to steer. 215/45 is perfect fitment for 17.

215/45 is fine but I would go with 225/45's my self just a personsal preference.
