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

yeah some companies add in a rim guard. but nik, even in your pics, you can tell that your rims are still sticking out past the tries.

well a 215 wide tire isnt meet for a 8 inch wide rim thats why i said they fit perfect on 7.5 inch wide rims at the time i got new rims i didnt have the money to get wider tires so i throught my 215's back on until i could get wider tires thats all if i got a 225 in falken i would beat money that the rim the rim protector will extend past the rim. so thats all im saying for 7.0 to 7.5 a 215 works good on a a 8.0 and bigger you need a min of a 225 wide tire but thats me so
