I have this set up now, 205-40-17, and the ride sucks. I want a little more cushion. But im also lowered, so can't get too much sidewall or ill rub. Can you guys post your pics of tire sizes? This may allready be on the suspension drop forum, ill go look.

if your lowered try 205-45-17 that may fit you perfectly cause people have had issues with 215-45-17 rubbing

Here's both, same car.

Here's the Kumho 711s in 215/45/17 that I started with:


And the Yokahama Parada Spec 2s in 215/40/17 my car is wearing now:
(NOTE: There is no difference in coilover adjustment from the photo above.)


PS. Wheel gap has been since eliminated. Gotta love coilovers.

also. hows the ride with 215/40/17's, any real difference, actually you never had 205/40/17's so you can't compare right?

The ride on the Yokohama 215/40s was actually more comfortable than the ride with the Kumho 215/45s.
