Tire Size

Ok, I recently bought a set of rims. They are 17x7. I was wondering what size tires will fit these. 205/40/17, 215/40/17, or whatever. I know the second and third numbers are. Im guessing they are width. if they are, what size will fit 17x7 rims. thnx

If you have a EX I say go with 215/45/17 works good doesn't throw the spedo off and gives you cushion on your rims. These are the ones I have the Kumho 712.

First number = section width

Second number = % height to width profile

Thrid number = wheel diameter

If there is a Letter H, V, Z, etc that's the speed rating of the tire.

Too find the right size to make your speedo as correct as possible use the tire calculator here:

There's a whole story on wheelmax. Some people say they got their rims right away, and others say that it takes forever and they dont respond to e-mails. search around for more opinions.
