205-45-17 or 215-45-17??
Hey I just wanted to get opinions on tire sizes. I am close to having to replace my tires I have now. They're 205's. My car is an 02 dx, lowered with eibach pro-kit springs. I'd like to go with the 215's because it'll fill out the wheel well even more, and itll give a bit more cushion but I don't know if i'll lose traction as the weight and hp will remain the same.

215's if your not slammed is fine in my experience.

my 215/40 makes my car sit lower than it should since the tires are a bit smaller than stock diameter.
the 215/40r17 is pretty much identical to the 205/45r17 in terms of diameter
