hey whats up i have 205/40/17 right now and i might need tires in a few months and i was wondering whats everyones opinions on which of the 2 are better? i'm on neuspeed race (front 2.25 rear 2.0) the reason why i am concidering the 215/40s is because sometimes like to take aggressive turns and maybe it would be better handling with the 215 width? but i think i might like the 205/45 better for the ride quality. this weekend i hit a pot pole pretty hard and it made me think for getting the 45s. is 45s that much of a ride difference then the 40s? o yah can you guys post pics of these tire sizes on the vic if you have any? i tired doing a quick search and i couldnt find that much pics. this question probably has been asked alot of times and i am sorry if it annyos you guys, but i wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with BOTH these tire sizes before and what you have to say about the 2

totally get the 215, u wont sacrifice tooo much on ride quality but ull get alot better handling, from the stiffer( cause its smaller) sidewall, and extra 10mm width.

those arent going to work with the kind of drop he has

^i second that. i had 215/45/17 with a 1.8" drop and it would rub on u-turns and driving over certain size dips.

i personally would go with 205/45/17 because im daily driving and could care less for cornering. and i would be able to kill wheel gap easier =D

Since he wants cornering, he should without a doubt go with the wider tire with what be a slightly stiffer sidewall. Therefore, 215/40/17.

I've had both and prefer 215/40/17...good luck with your decision.
