What tires should I get????????????

I've been hearing a lot about bending wheels and all...........i wanted to know what would be the best tires size to get for the 17 wheels I'm getting. I'm planning to get the Z5000 package from wheelmax (17 x 7) Wheel and tire package 2.........check link below...
RH Z5000
im afraid spending so much money on wheels and then bending 'em........please help!

The only kind of wheels I've ever bent was two piece wheels. Just becareful if you get a wheel that has a out lip. Those will bend easier. And to bend a wheel you have to hit a big pothole or something like that really really hard. And you should be watching for things like that anyways.

For a 17X7 wheel I would recomend a 215/45-17, it will give you a little more side wall for protection.

Yep definately 215/45 I hit a good pothole awhile back and I am still allright. But yeah its doesn't look as good but better to be safe.
