What tires would you recommend?
 

I purchased a new set of WedsSport TC105X wheels - this is a new size that became available this year.

17 x 8.5 +43

I want to get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - they come in the 2 sizes that I'm considering:

225/45/17
245/40/17

I would prefer 235's but Michelin does not sell this size.

Which size of tire would you recommend?

I appreciate your feedback.

245 if boosted, 225 if not.

The 225s are likely a better width for the car but will ever so slightly have a negative effect on acceleration (25" vs 24.7" diameter).

The 245s would have the exact same diameter as 215/45, so no effect on gearing/acceleration. I'd go with 245s in a heartbeat.

245/40/17

245/40/17

245/40/17

245/40. 225s will look a liiiiiiiiiittle bit stretched on an 8.5.

245/40R17 Toyo Proxes Sport is what I run and I love them

should i be questioning that i put 225/40/18 on my 18x8's?

Thanks everybody for chiming in - looks like I'm going to go with 245/40/17.

No,

225 is a perfect tire width for 8" wide wheels. :thumbsup:

Please post some pics about the wheels when you get them.
I'm debating about similiar setup.

Cheers.
