When I get new tires I want tires that fill up the wheel gap better and look more full. I know the recommended is 215/40/17's but who here has them on? I know many have the 215/45/17 but they look real big but I'm sure many are happy with its comfort. I have 205/40/17 right now sometimes they look good but at other times, they look scrawny on my car. Any pics I hope?

I have 215/40/17 on the back and 205/40/17 on the front. The rear doesn't look too bad but the front tyres just look too small for the car.
I was planning to go for 18"s but after reading a number of similar posts about tyre size for te 6gc, I think I'll simply opt for 45 tyres on the existing rims next time I need a new set. Part of my problem is that I haven't lowered my car yet. Lowering seems to make a much bigger visual impact than the actual rim size. The only pictures I have are in my profile.
