205 40 17s but some wheels are more prone to damage than others
if your cars standard height i would go for 205 45 17s less harsh on the wheels
via bad roads & potholes
i cracked another wheel again the weekend going to work
had 205 40 17s on momos real tears
cracked again on the weld done 2 weeks ago
but tyre fitter recons it was a shit weld job

i've had 205 40 17 and 215 40 17 might have to get your arches rolled with the
215 width but the rolling radius will be closer to your standard tyre size

what width are your wheel's?
