hey guys, i have a 99 max with 17" 06 g35x rims on there. i currently am running 215/55 R17 tires on there. i have decided that its time for new tires. i want something with a little thinner sidewall, you know so less tire will be showing or whatever. does that mean i should go with something like a 215/45 R17? and will that affect the car in anyway (i.e. will it sit "to tall" or will it throw off the speedometer, etc.)? any help will be appreciated.

 

235/45

 

235 wont sit too tall?

 

would 225/45 work? come on someone give me some feedback here im trying to buy the tires this week

 

anybody?

 

Check this site from the stickies out. It can help you determine sizing that will work. You want to keep the speedometer and overall diameter as close to original as possible.

yeah i looked at that. im more interested in feedback saying what looks good/doesnt look good...does a 235/45 look better than a 225/45?

 

i'm heading home for lunch i'll look at my g-35 rims on my other max and let you know the tire size i am running on it.

 

225/40
