With so many owners with 17" rims and still more yet to switch, what tire sizes are you using or will be using?

Front tire:

205/50R17: .49 cm larger than stock (.008% larger)
215/45R17: .66 cm smaller than stock (.010% smaller)
225/45R17: .24 cm larger than stock (.004% larger)

Rear tire:

225/45R17: .29 cm larger than stock (.005% larger)
235/45R17: 1.19 cm larger than stock (.019% larger)
245/40R17: .36 cm smaller than stock (.006% smaller)
255/40R17: .44 cm larger than stock (.007% larger)

If you answer other, please post why.

i have 225/45/17's up front w/ 245/40/17's out back, but... i think the 225's look a little too big in my opinion. 215's up front look better.

Uh oh, now how did that happen? I must've been inebriated at the time.

Hmm, I think I entered 17" Tire Size Poll in the subject field and the double quotes must have truncated the rest of the subject.

cthree, a little help here? I can't figure out how to edit the subject.

Currently at 215/45/17 + 245/40/17 but seriously considering 205/50/17 + 255/40/17 to tame the oversteering characteristics of this car. I'd prefer to have a 9in wide wheel for the rear tires, but 8.5 will have to do.
