TIRES !....and a lil lowering question
#1
Whats up everyone. I just purchased Konig Wheels (17x7) and was wondering the exact fit for them. Would it be
225/45/17 ?
OR
225/40/17 ?
BTW, The wheels are Konig Caffeines, if this helps any.
And about the lowering...if I got the coil-overs, would that be ALL I needed ? Or would I be better off buying the shocks, springs, ect. seperately ? Thanks

40 profile is too small, go with 45 or 50 (225/50/17 is the stock size on the 5th gen SE 17s).

I went w/ Falken GRB's at 225/45ZR17 - I was told that this was the correct plus 2 sizing. After reading the other post and noting how hard my car hits bumps now, I would probably recommend the 225/50's also. Good luck! Either way, you wont believe the difference, everything is better than stock.

Ya, I'm looking forward to the new styling and handling im going to get, but don't know jack-**** about tires and am hesitant which ones will fit/perform the best !

I'm assuming you have a 4th gen. The correct size tire for 17x7 rims is 215/50/17 if you want to maintain correct speedometer readings. You can also use 235/45/17 to maintain correct readings, but this size is usually for 17x7.5 rims because it's wider. The correct size tire for the 5th gen is 225/50/17.

im using 235/45/17 on mine, wide enough, not too much sidewall, but enough to prevent rims from bending, about perfect if i say so, nt-555
