Well, what size rim do you have?

For an example, say you have a 17X7" wheel, and a 215/45-17 tire. The first number (the 215) is your tread width in millimeters and the second number (the 45) is the sidewall height. It is the percentage of the tread width 45% of 215 mm will give you the height. The last number is the rim size that the tire fits on, in this case 17".

I should point out that any 17" tire will fit on any 17" wheel, but you have to make sure you get the proper size (width and sidewall) in order to keep your speedometer reading accurate and everything in order.

So if you want to tell us your rim size we can help you find a tire that fits for you.

Yes those will work as long as your drop is not really low. If it is when you adjust the rear camber it may cause the tire to rub on the fender. If you are worried about this you can get a 205/45-17 and that will have a less chance of rubbing on you and still have the sidewall you want.
