hey guys i finally got my new wheels the advan rcII's. i got them in 17x8.5.

my question is do u think i should go with a 235/40/17 or 245/40/17? my wheels rite now are 18x7.5 and im running 235/40/18s so im guessing i should go with a 245 width due to the extra inch. what do you guys think?

here are my top choices for tires

Falken FK-451 245/40ZR17 - $113.00

Yokohama AVS ES100 245/40ZR17 - $120.00

here ya go:

enter in as stock size 25/55r16 (stock on V6's an premium wheels) then wht your desired size will b, just pay attnetion to the width and height differences; you will have to select "end" view.

245/40zr17 will b within 1% of stock circumference but may b 2 wide to fit under the rear fender if you are lowered... you may have to roll your fenders.

ideal is 225/45zr17 on 7.5 wide to avoid any possible clearnace issues. 245 is 20mm wider or about 0.8".

first of all if you buy your tires from there... your a fuckin idiot.... 120 for the yoko's? yoko's 235/40/17....104 at Tire Rack.... 245/40/17.... 107 at Tire Rack (and yes its the same model)

16, 13 bucks doesnt seem much but add them up? 64, 52 just in saving....

dont see any falkens...

they are expensive and im not buying them from them. im not paying for them at all. im getting them free just like i got the wheels free. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
