what does everybody go for? i've got a set of tsw evo's that are et40. at the mo there's 205/40's on them. i think that that 40 look's far to small in the side wall. is it ok to go up to a 205/45 or 215/45 tyre? would i have any prob's with these sizes?

 

You'll get a vast difference of opinion on this one mate, My rims are 7jx17 et35 and I have always run with 205/40's

id go 40's mate

 

i've got a full set of 40's on at the mo. i just think the sidewall look's to small. i've not fitted them to the car yet. it's running at standard height an i just think that it's gonna look outta proportion when there on..

 

depends what tyres ure running if the side walls look small , as if your running like pirrellis or falkens the side wall will be small as there tappered in but if your running like uniroyals or yokohamas or am sure even toyo proxies have got like tyre protectors and the tyres look bigger side walls . if u know what a mean

 

215/40-17 on 8x17 ET 35 fits on mine cos 4x4 with no problems

 

yea the tyre's have the wheel protector's. the side wall just look's like a rubber band on the wheel. i just don't like the look of ot.. maybe am just bein picky..lol

 

any idea if the sidewall is higher with the 215/40's?

 

Had 205 40's on my saff, sidewall didn't look that small ? maybe it depends on the tyre ?. 215 40 rge side wall is the same unless you go 45.
