tire size question

[joozen]

i just got the ADR Sokudo's 17's and was wonderin whats the best tire size to get for them? They are 17x7..i was thinkin 205/40 or 215/40..i dont want it too rub either..but i like a low ride..this is just for daily driving by the way..opinions please..thanx..

A poorly chosen wheel offset can make any tires rub, but if your offset is close to stock, I don't think either size is excessive.

I think 205/40-17 is too small, it's just for Civics. So 215/40-17 would be my choice.

225/40-17 could be an option too, except virtually no tires are available. 225/45-17 is a common choice, but they do have a larger diameter than the stock tires.

well that just means more sidewall and so more protection

A lot of us are running 215/45. Edge Racing has a great deal on the Yokohama ES100s in that size. http://newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=84163
