Tires??

I plan on getting a wheel and tire package from wheelmax.com, most the aftermarket rims that I see people have have eithger 215 or 235 tires on them. Is it wise to go with 205 or are there drawbacks to this?

For 17" wheels, the proper tire size is 235/45-17

You can try 205/50-17, tho the diameter is ever so slightly smaller than stock.

Other sizes to consider:
215/50-17
225/50-17
235/45-17

215/45-18
225/40-18
235/40-18

I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but I don't think the load rating for 205/50-17 is going to be very close to the stock size tire. Probably not an issue for most people, but it could be.....
