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.

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).

Second the 215/45/17 suggestion.

Excellent choice on tires though, I wish I went with the spec II's

Um..

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??
