Depends on is you want that stretched look or normal fitment. With the 17x7 I would get about a 215/45 and you can go a little wider on the 17x8. Any chance those wheels were from a Honda?

I think I'd do 225/45 all around.

235/45/17 is what I'm running. It is the same height as a stock 215/55/16. Why are you guys posting smaller tires?







































BTW f*ck staggered fitment on FWD.

225/45 look nice and wide and handle good. I am rolling on some 16's with that width and profile at the moment.

Edit: *handle WELL, and the handle well
