heyzy 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Currently riding on 205/40/17 on my Corrado VR6.Just wondering if anyone is running on 215/45/17.Just want to improve the ride quality over potholes etc.Do they effect the gearing or speedo readings too much? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 17, 2005 215/45s will definitely affect the gearing and speedo....and they might rub. I used 215/40/17s for a while and they certainly had more give in them than 205/40s over bumps, and didn't affect the speedo by much at all...according to GPS.

_leon_ 0 Posted October 10, 2006 deciding whether to go for 215/40/17 or 205/40/17. I want a squarish profile on the tyre and increased comfort if possible on the 17". Rainsports are going on so that will also help. So prois and cons of 215/40/17 over 205/40/17?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taggart 0 Posted October 10, 2006 I got slight rubbing, with standard suspension, one 215/40/17 on an 8j ET35 rim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
