What size tires with 17's???

[krott5333]

I plan on getting some 17's for my car, but I don't want to lower it. Also, I live in erie, pa, where there is plenty of potholes. What size tire should I get that will fill the wheel well a little better, so it wont look desperate for a lowering job??

Thanks

205/40-17 will be closest to the stock diameter. Getting any larger aspect ratio fora 17" wheel will effectively change your gear ratios and reduce acceleration.

With all those potholes you might be better of getting 16s instead. There's a little more room for sidewall to protect your wheels.
