My main question is, since I'm likely just going to stick with the standard tire size of 215/45/R17 for the MPS4S will this have any downside if I choose to get new rims in the future that are slightly wider?
TireRack shows that the 215s will fit a 7-8" wheel, or should I get the 225s which will also fit a 7-8.5" wheel? Would it make a big difference to choose one over the other?
I've been wanting the TSW Nurburgring rims in 17x8 +45 if I can find them, I just don't wanna spend all the money on both tires and rims right now.
Any help would be appreciated (apologies for my noobness) |
No, there's no downside of getting slightly wider wheels. A 215/45/17 tire size will fit on a 17x8 wheel just fine, but if you decide you want to get wheels that are 17x8.5 or higher you will need a 225/45/17 or larger.
