Default tires!?!?!

waht size do you guys recommend and what brand? i dont any extreme sticking ones, just ones that look good. i am not sure if i want 16 in. or 17 in. (wheels) yet. could you guys recomend a size that is not sticking out, but not too far in (like the stock ones)? also, if i got 17's and i am lowered 1.5 in., would i get any rubbing? i need tire recomendations for a 01 lude lowered 1.5 in all around for both 16" and 17"wheels. sorry about all the qeustions and thanks in advance.

I have some Yokahama Parada Spec II's for sale..check my sig..they are 215/40/17..slightly wider than stock, offfering alot better dry and wet handling.

Ill let em go for 300...they have less than 6k miles on them, w/no camber wear.

hah, those are the sae wheels I have, for pics check the sig.

they are plenty wide, the 40 in 215/40/17 is a percetage of 215 so if you get wider you have to get lower profile..you drive a torqueless honda 215 is the widest I would go, unless you a putting down serious power.
