how would that size look on a 5th generation lude? would it be sticking out? if you dont think that size is good, can you give me pics (of a 5th gen) that would look good?

 

or i mean, 225/40/17

 

okay, i got confused. you guys can close this thread. i foudn out that this is not what i was suppose to ask, and i foudn the right answer.

 

look at the pics of my car, i have 215/40ZR17 and the height is pretty much stock, i have it dropped maybe 1/4" if that. with that size on stock height, looks pretty good

 

225/40/17 are taller overall than what Sam listed 215/40/17. (sams tire is properly plus sized, so it is almost identical in height as stock)

the x/40/y means 40% of x..so 40%of 225 is taller than 40%of 215.

running 225 vs 215 would increase your overall diameter, therefore gearing your car higher and reducing acceleration. The only advantage would be 225 is a wider tire, which may provide better traction.

unless you are putting down serious power, I wouldn't recommend 225's it will slow your car down noticeably. w/ 225's you would also be more likely to run into rubbing issues.

I Have some 215/40/17 spec II paradas for sale, $300..check my sig.
