225-45-17s installed!, pic Options

[lagos]

i just got my 225-45-17 kumho asx installed on my 17x7 rims. the ride quality is a MILLION times better then the horrible 205-40s i had before. the pic dosnt really do them justice, but the car has a bad ass look to it now with these tires. you can also tell that they are a lot wider when looking at the front of the car, and should provide much better traction then the tires i had before.. they even made the car sit about 3/4th of an inch higher (just eyeballing it) and speed bumps are no longer a problem like they used to be. im very happy with them so far

here is a before and after:

old 205-40-17s




new 225-45-17s

No i have the same size tires. 8'' rims are wider than my 7.5's so I dont think i'll have the same rubbing that you would.

yeah falkens 215 35 18 fit perfect on 18X7.5 rim the rubber stickout farther than the rim to protect it i look for that in tires those protective lips

hey i'll sell you these tires they have 70% tread left one is almost new for 200 + ship just pm me

I'm confused, I have 215/35/18s right now with 95% tread on them, they're Kumho and they dont stick out over the rim at all.

if you look at a falken tire they have a little extra rubber for rim protection but not all tires do that some do some dont

AA traction rating is the highest available and represents the tire's superior ability to stop on wet pavement.
