Hi there everyone. Recently i have bought new 17inch rims for my celi and i use 225/45/R17 tyre. This weekend a mechanic told me that the tyres size it's not correct and that it's higher than normal. I 've been told that i should use 215/45 tyres otherwise the 225/45 tyre will cause many problems to the car!!! I really don't know what to do since the tyres are almost new and i don't want to replace them. I would appreciate any advise and any information from you guys......

Thats why wheels fill their space nicely. That's what I didn't understand  (bigger tire can't make car lower), however makes fill wheel space better (cuz is bigger  ). Thanks Tom, now that's clear -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
