205/40/17 or 215/40/17 with Neuspeed Sport?
I personally think 205/40/17 looks better cuz it makes your rims look bigger. But I rather go with the tire size that would minimize the possiblity of rubbing with my Neuspeed Sport drop (1.75f/1.5r) Which size should i go with?

Rep Power: 0 if your roads are $hit then go with 215, u will still have plenty of room without rubbing, if your roads are awsome then go with 205
It all depens on where u live, i have 205 40 17 and wish i would have went with 215 45 17
just because of the raods.
yeah it looks better with a smaller tire, but in order to keep your rims looking good you have to protect them

Rep Power: 417 i personally HATE 205-40-17.. they're so tiny for 17s... yes it makes the wheels look bigger kinda but it makes the car look ugly overall... it doesnt really fill up the fender gap too well... if you want your wheels to look bigger i say go with 18s 
.. but then they cost what $300 more so... but either way i would go with 215-40.. and smaller the tire, less chance of rubbing so of course you'll have a lesser chance with 205-40... but i guarentee you wont even rub with 215-45-17..

Rep Power: 0 If you're kinda worried about rubbing, maybe 205/45, I have 205/40 and they don't absorb s-h-i-t.... So rough on my unevenly paved roads.... If your roads aren't all edgy and full of holes and uneven pavement, then go with them.... Next set of tires I'm gonna get like 205/60/17 or something [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] j/k
