What's up all, I'm looking at some 17" spades here:
http://www.autobahnwheels.com/product/whee.../adrwheel5.html (ADR spade package at the bottom) First off, is that a good tire size that those rims come with? And second off, if it's not, what would be a good, slim, tire that wouldn't make for a real rough ride. Sizewise that is. |

well the stock tire size for the st is 185/70 R14. and when you compare it to 205/40 R17 you'll see that the overall height is 0.74" less than stock. now the reason I said 215/40 R17 or better is because its closer to stock size and it has ~0.2" more sidewall than the 205/40's to protect the wheel.
I do agree though, 215/45 R17 is imo the ideal size. the overall height is 0.5" more than stock, but provides comfort and optimal rim protection. |
