thats true.. Toyo FZ's suck!

T1-s Toyo's are the best.

With the description of your order it sounds like your getting your tire/wheel package from wheelmax

215/40/17 Yokohama Parada Spec II. That's the rubber i got on my car. They handle great. Much better than the Ecsta Supras I had.

The wheel & tire package is from wheelmax, although I probably wont be ordering from there, I just needed advice on tires cause I dont wanna get a tire that looks bad with my new wheels. (Like too skinny or something)

I have the Kuhmo Ecsta's now in 215/45/17 and they are great. I had Nitto's before and they suck shiet. The Kuhmo's are a lot better. I dont have any experience with Toyo though.

It depends a lot on what width wheel you go with . If you go with a 7.5 or wider you will need to go the wider route as the 205 will stretch quite a bit. Do your research on the specific models you are considering and see what peoples feeedback on them has been
