my bros runnin 205/40/17's on his LS

only thing is that the load rating of his tyres are now 80
the recommended load rating is 85 for the car

as for the legal side of things, every state has their own rules and regulations when it comes down to modifying your car

For a LS
Stock tyres - 195/60R14
Load Rating - 85 or 86 (depending on year, 1987-88 is 85 and 1988 above is 86)
Speed Rating - H
Overall Diameter = 590

To be legal it is best to stick within -1.5% to +2% of the orginal tyre's Overall Diameter.

Sizes like
215/40R17 O.D=604
or 205/40R17 O.D=596
or 225/35R17 O.D=589
Will be legal.

I think the load rating sticker is necessary.

My old 17's had a load rating of 80, whilst the 2 new ones I bought have a load rating of 84 - identical specs; 205/40/17

My stock Michelin spare had a rating of 85, whilst my yoko 509's have a load rating of 86, all on stock rims.


Iiiiiiinteresting
