17 inch Tire Size

[Mij]

Hi I have a EK Civic coupe and was wondering what size tire I should put on. 215/40/17 or 205/40/17

i'd go 215/40/17

205's look too skinny

215/40/R17 scraps on full lock on my car
205/40/R17 is fine, no probs

Yeah, 215/40/R17 will scrape, while the 205's are less likely to scrape the inner gaurds. I guess it depends how low your car is.

i tink 205s are cheaper too since they are more common

I think I will just run the 205s as its the mrs car !

Nah...shouldn't be a prob...of course, it depends on how heavy the rims are though..

make sure ur the tyre load rating is not under the required amount by the car cuz u can get dicked. i had 17's on my bone stock eg and the onli thing he could dick me for was tyre load rating not high enough $125 fine =/

The rims i have are buddy club sf's and was planning to run Falken 326s for the moment
