anyone have any pictures of smaller tires on stock suspension??

the reason Im asking is because Im looking at some 205/40/17. I know my speedo will be off and Ill get worse gas mileage but it will make my 0-60 and quarter mile faster...im just worried that they will look funny.

 

They will look like absolute cow dung.

 

This is how they look. ( This is my old max )

 

They won't look too great. Your car will handle better (although you should get wider tires than 205, that's garbage) and accelerate slightly better but it will definitely look funny.

Edit: ^^ yeah, they don't look too hot... it almost seems like you're a wannabe burrito rocket that's not lowered yet...

 

what the freak? You have hydraulic jacks under the car when you took that pic? 4x4 magazine has NOTHING on you bro.

 

This is true man haha I sold the car and the rims with it. Ahh the old stupid days..

 

Bet it performed nicely though... haha

 

oh wow...i didnt realize they would look that horrible!!!

I guess ill just get some 225/45/17 or 235/40/17

 

No, you want 235/45/R17, 40 is the wrong aspect ratio for that width.

 

^ +1, don't go to a 40-17 until you're 255mm wide or so.

 

oh my bad...thanks for correcting me

 

235/40/18 works perfect for 18's. you would want 45 for 17s as others have pointed out.

 

i have 235/45/17

 

215/50-17 here.

 

u wanty 235/45s that is the recommended up grade......the 45 means its 45% of the width of trade which is 235... which ends up being 105.75mm....so u can calculate fromt here depending on different widths of tire

 

Will a 235/45/17 tire fit on a 7.5" rim?

 

Well i had 225/35/r18 tires on my car and it looked a little wierd but my car wasnt lowered. So i traded rims with my buddy, his max was lowered and the rims looked so nice on his car. Anways i would think they would look good IF your car is lowered

 

i have 35's.........on my 17's i had 235/45, and they were nicley beefy and filled up the well pretty good. I think smaller tire would make your quarters alittle slower

 

Yes, 235/45/17 is an optimum size tire for a 7.5" rim.
