215\40\17????

any of you guys notice any difference? Did it slow you down? Loss of power??? whatever, please tell me... I'm desperate. I'm picking up my rims today and I was debating between 215\45\17 or 215\40\17...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Go for the 215/45R17's. About as close as you can get without setting the speedo far off. These tire will get more power to the ground due to the wider surface.

Hope you enjoy them.

I have the standard 205/40/17's and when they wear out ... it's the 215/45/17's for me.
