Tires for ST205, Question, which size is best? Options

[spewie]

I would like to get new tires for my new rims now, but i am hesitating between two sizes.

Stock I had 215/50/16 7.5J

According to calculator, I can go with two sizes in 8.5J

1. 235/35/18 --> 0% speedo impediment
2. 245/35/18 --> 1.2% speedo impediment

Can anybody tell me what sizes they have on their ST205 and what your experiences are? Can i use the 245, or should i go with 235?

All feedback is appreciated.

Thanks :-)

Hey mate.

I don't know anyone running 245s..... I suspect it is unnecessarily wide to be honest.

I'm moving to 17x8's running 235/40R17s. A friend has the same size and seems to work pretty well...

No worries man. What did you go for in the end?

I'm torn between Eagle F1's and Toyo Proxies.
