215/40/17 are also a good choice if you want a slightly lower profile.

Haha, no you dont

I had 215/45/17 and had to remove them when I lowered due to scrubbing hardcore...

Go with 205/40/17, nice thin profile that looks good. 215/45/17 make your rims look smaller than they are...

Lightbulb Some comparison photos

Here's the Kumho 711s in 215/45/17 that I started with:


And the Yokahama Parada Spec 2s in 215/40/17 my car is wearing now:
(NOTE: There is no difference in coilover adjustment from the photo above.)


PS. Wheel gap has been since eliminated. Gotta love coilovers.
