Would 215/50/15 work well on the stock 7 inch rim? I know it is only a slight difference from what is stock, but I want a little more aggressive look. I know it will fit the rim, but im worried about steering response (tiny bit shorter sidewalls, but wider footprint.)
and.. they're like 10 bucks cheaper each  kumho ecsta 711's are what im lookin at gettin btw... --------------------  |

I had 225 50 16's on 8" wide, but now I am at 205 40 17.. The tires are fine, but when they are gone I am getting 225's back again.. and a higher profile.. like 45.. So, like Magic and Lagos said.

Well that works, decided against summer tires and im gonna go with some all seasons... i do live in ohio after all
 Anyone have any experience with the ASX's? I'll be going with the stock size since they don't offer 215's in 15 inch wheels. -------------------- |

Kumho 711's are teh suck.
(best way to describe just how bad they are) Ive got Yokohama AVS ES100's, which kick the crap out of those Kumho tires. My bald bridgstone H rated tires were better than the new Kumhos in cold or wet weather. I use 215/40/17 but probably could have gone bigger. They are fine though.

It's a bit too tall and will throw off the speedo... but it's fine. Too big is 225/45/17 on a 17x7 wheel. The size closest to stock is 215/40/17... but if you like more meat on the sidewalls, 215/45/17 works also. Personally... on a 7 inch wheel... I wouldn't go wider than 215... but 225 series will fit fine too. A "too big" one would be drocay's 235/45/17's. That's too wide and too tall unless that's a 7.5 or 8 inch wide wheel, which the tire will still hug over. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

That's cool, I just think you would be better off just going with wheel spacers and longer studs. But then again, it's not my car now is it?
