Re: 215/40/17 on 850R Wheels 850 1996R

I wouldn't say the 215/45/17 size looks *bad*. It just looks odd because the side wall is bigger. The lower profile 205/45/17 looks more "racy" i guess you can call it. FYI, I tried the 215/45/17 on my 850R with 17" rims and experienced major rubbing on tight turns. I have small holes in the plastic wheel well now. If you do go with the 215/40/17 size, Yokohama also has the Parada's. I've heard some good things about them. I'm getting them installed on my car this weekend. I'll give you an update on them.
