    I think the wheels themselves are sweet
    and the idea of having them sized quarter of an inch wider is dope for the stancer/ tire stretcher..
    As if we needed more stretch than we can already pull off.. haha

    like every wheel out there, I think if you can execute the stance right, we'd love it. ( some of us, I don't speak for everyone)

    I actually hate those wheels. A lot of local 8th gen kids run those and I'm just not into them.

    Started tire shopping for my new wheels for various size tires, 205/45, 215/45, and 205/40...and the tires for 205/40 are WAY cheaper! So how off will my speedo be with these? Also are there any other down falls with this tires size? Wheels are 17x7 thanks

    well, the sidewalls will be shorter, so you'll have less protection when you hit a pothole...

    If tire fitment is new to you, I fully recommend sticking to stock ratio's.
    When you start stretching and over sizing and under sizing tires, I think you really need to know what you're doing, and/or be committed to it.
    Maybe go used tires?
    I mean it'd cut the cost, and it's safer as far as buying the wrong size.
    You save money in the chance the tires are too small/big for your liking.
    AND you can resell them and the value essentially wont go down

    Used tires, are 'used tires' when you use them, value doesn't change.
    New tires, however when used, become 'used tires' which means the value of them drop significantly.

    What do you mean by stock ratio? Since its a 17x7 rim 205 should fit fine then as far as hieght my stock rims and tires (195/60 15) are 24.2 in tall.

    205/40 17 is 21:46 in tall
    205/45 17 is 24:26 in tall
    Then there is 215/45 17 is 24.6 in tall (diiff width so I'm un sure on fittment but others runs it)

    So closest to stock as far as hieght is 205/45. Since my drop will be moterate 1.8ish I'm assuming they will fit correct? And the only down fall with the 205/40 is protection and an off speedo right?

    Many people, including my self, run 215/45/17.

    As far as specific brands, I got nothing.
    I think the Falken 912's are great for the price.
    Affordable, and they last decently long.
    Wow sorry, looong days at workk and little sleep! Forgot about this...

    Yeah 205/45/17 is stock.
    And it should fit correctly, but that depends on your personal interpretation of "fit".
    Google HellaFlush. If you think those car's wheels fit, that you believe anything fits.

    And as far as downfall, that's personal interpretation too.
    I believe the lower the profile tire, the worse milage rating it has.
    But protection, and you may have a more uncomfortable ride. Less cushion.
    And more wheel gap, if you even consider that a downfall.

    Check Onlinetires.com
    They seem to have the best prices.
    Maybe even with shipping, they may beat your local tire shop prices. Don't know though.

    I've heard from a few tire guys that low pro's have a shorter life span.
    I don't have first hand experience about this though.
