Anyone have a good reason to change my mind about wheel/tire combo
I have decided on this wheel/tire combo.
17” Arospeed RS-11's
205/45/17 Yokohama Parada Spec-2
and this is where I will purchase them:
Wheele Max (at the very bottom)
Tire Rack
Price:
$125 a piece
$89 a piece
Any reasons or suggestions to this combo?? (besides suggesting getting 18")
BTW- I have a DX Coupe so the tire calc says that that tire will be .276 to slow.

Rep Power: 293 I would go 215/45R17 instead. It's closer to stock wheel/tire diameter and the tire will look like it fits on the wheel better (width wise).

Like I said I have a DX so my tires are 185/70/14 stock.
the tire calc says:
215/45/17 will be 1.75 slow
205/45/17 will be 0.27 slow
Am i missing something??
