Does anyone run the 215/50/17 on 17x7 combo? It has the best comparison ration with respect to the stock tires. Also, it's the recommended size by Impul. Opinions or observations?

 

217? Never heard of that size.

 

Oops. Corrected. Er, 215.

 

Search is amazing. As a matter of fact, you asked this same question back in April.

Yeah, go figure. Look at all those replies I got for it too!

 

yes, but others have commented in the other posts since then.

The consensus: 235/45/17 is recommended by manufacturers (7 to 8.5" on 235 widths)

 

That was the whole point of my question. I read conflicting posts where 235/45/17 was not recommended for 7" width. From the MaxFaq and Impul (who I know to be an excellent aftermarket/racing company), 215/501/17 was listed for 17x7, so I just wanted to know if anyone had tried that combo. I'll probably end up with 17x8, 235/45/17, so thanks anyhoo.
