And 225/45/17 is correct; I'm running the same size as well. __________________ moku 1996 318ti Cali Top w/ Downing/Atlanta Supercharger 2003 M3 w/ CSL trunk, splitters, & diffuser | | | 03-23-2005, 12:48 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Rimini, Italy (Europe) Posts: 73 | i like 215 45 17 that have the same circumference of 235 40 17... __________________ I'am italian! | | | 03-23-2005, 02:52 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | I'm partial to the 235 setup, although I like a nice bulbous tire. I'd say go with the 225, it's safe and will give you a bigger contact area. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
