I just purchased my used 00 s2k and the previous owner put 17" rims on it. My question is the rear tires are 215/50/17 aren't the stock 225 in the rear. Does this affect handling? Can I still put 225 on my 17's. I'm not very knowlegable about tires so any help would be apprecitated. Thanks

Should post this in Wheel &Tires Forum.

Unless they are ungodly skinny wheels (6") then yes, some 225's would fit fine. You'd be better stepping up to a 245 though since thats how wide the stock 225 really is. A good choice in tires would just be the stock tires from the AP2's.

The 215/50R17 is not a good size tire for the car either. You would be better with 205/50R17 front and 225/45R17 rear.
If I can help let me know.
