i wanted to get new rims for my type s.. im about to order them.. im pretty sure they are 17x7 .. should i stick the stock 215 45 17 or go with a 215 40 17 ??

what do you guys think???

i also wanted to get a top name brand tire too.. if that matters in this case...

 

I would stick with 215/45/17 or 225/45/17 ... I'm running 225/45/17 on a 2006 Type S rim (17x7) right now with Falken Azenis RT-615 tires ... I highly recommend them!

215/40/17 overall diameter would be too small IMO ...

 

i agree, 215/45 is a great size for the type s. i have a set of yokahama es100 and i love them. a lot more grip than stock, and they have a directional tread patern, and there is a lip built in to protect the rim.

 

When in doubt, get the stock tire size.

 

Go 225!

I hvae 215, and I'm regretting it, next set of tires is 225 for sure, you'll love it!

 

225 will fit on a 17x7 rim ... but would probably fit a little better on a 17x7.5. The sidewalls are a little thick and I think you will get better performance (turn-in, response, etc) with a 215 tire. If you want an example of how a 225 tire looks ... see below.

thanks you guys so much.. i think im gonna get a rota gt3 in red in 17 but i think they are 17x7 im gonna get a 215 45 17 i guess then.. i was thinkin the 40 might be a hair bit to small.. it is a bigger car.. compared to civics im used to.. i was thinkin yoko prada spec 2 ?? anyone else got any good tire ideas ???

225 is a wider tire and is available in more compound choices.

It is a slightly taller tire, but it isn't that much so.
