If I do want to stick with 17s and have a wider grip than stock 215, I will have to do a 245/40 which is a +0.4%... which is as close as I am going to get on 18s.


So is 245/40 with 17x8.5-9 a sound choice?

Btw thanks so much for the input Slick!
Yeah, perfect size tire and the wheel size is spot on.
