Ya, I have 235\45\17's on mine, but their 17x8. I would think that putting them on 17x7 would make them bulge and not be very stable....

Yes for 17x7 you should get the 225/45. If you have 17x7.5 then go for the 235/45.

hey man, Im lookin to buy rims and cant choose the right size. Im on low budget and hardly can afford 18" rims, I want to go with 17" but im afraid they will look to small on the car, since you got 17x8 ( what i want to get), what do you think of em ? small, good or what ?
