tire size that suit 17' well

[simcivic08]

I'm actualy in the process of buying new tires to go on my 17x7 wheel. I know type R have 205/45R17 and HFP have 215/45R17... what tire size is the best handling wise. I searched but since the forum crashed, that answer must have been deleted

215/45 is the better option

I would go with whatever tirerack.com reccomends.

You can plug in tire size combinations to compare to stock size.

With the 19's youll be running on rubber bands. Get the 215/45 17 they will be perfect.

I'm running 215/45/17's & they fit & perform amazingly. The profile & stance looks great.

im about to get 215/45/17 also. seems like the best size and itll fill up the wheel gap. 19's on an ep. blah. i think 18s are even big. i dont wanna picture 19.

[EPandaman29]

For sure

agreed.

[simcivic08]

so i guess i'll go for 215/45R17, actually, my tire are 215/40R17
