OK i just got my sportlines ordered so they will be in in the upcoming weeks.
I want 17's so what is the best tire to go with a 17x7 wheel? and how do you read the metric sizes? I'm still used to standard number's such as 35x12.50x15. So is it the 205/40 or the 215/45? What is the diff? Oh yea, if you have any picture of this setup, 1.5 drop and 17's would you post some good pics? I'm liking the Volk look alike wheels. Thanks! |

I know we talked about this on aol, but in case it could help anyone else:
The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, measured from sidewall to sidewall. The second number is the aspect ratio. This is a ratio of sidewall height to width. The last number is the diameter of the wheel in inches. (rim size) |
