cptkirk 10 Posted January 31, 2012 would the 205s rub with the et being 40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim1 1 Posted February 1, 2012 205/40R17 would be the best option. They should fit without any problem, I ran that size on my first C. Also, the overall circumference will be closer to the original size, meaning your speedo won't be quite so far out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptkirk 10 Posted February 1, 2012 with um being a 40 profile, it should be right...how about 215?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P3rks 11 Posted February 1, 2012 195/40's best, 205/40's cheapest. ^This.... For looks. 205/40 for ride. I'm with Baz; 195/40 would be my choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cptkirk 10 Posted February 1, 2012 im thinking the tyre will look stretched on the rim tho. i think there 7" wide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P3rks 11 Posted February 1, 2012 Nope, 195 will fit more or less flush with a 7" rim. Look on tyrestretch.com for some pictures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I had 205s on 8J rims and there was little or no stretch, 195s will be fine Edited February 1, 2012 by BILLCOR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
