    Tire size for a 7G on 17s

    I know that 205/45/zr17 is the "best" fit OD is 24.3" versus the stock 24.2", but I was looking around and 235/40/zr17 has an OD of 24.4". I'm still on the stock suspension so there is no drop, would 235s fit without any rubbing or do you think they are just too wide and would cause problems?

    They should fit. I run 225/45/17s with a 2+" drop and only rub every once in awhile. If I had the Eibach Pro Kit, I wouldnt rub at all. My speedo may be off, but its only by a few mph I would assume.

    Flakens are good if you got the dough go for it.

    Not how fast your car goes but how good u drive going fast.

    Falkens are cheap. I'd go for either the BFG KDWs, or the Toyo Proxes 4.
