Just ordered Rota Sub's, Now What??
Hey guys im real excitded about this purchase, will be my first set of wheels i bought myself. I got me some 17/7.5 Rota Subzeros in royal<polish lip>bronze to go on my magnesium silver metallic 05 Ex sedan. Now im looking for tires, and i want to know what the difference is between 215/45 and 40's? Is that the width or the height of the tire. i noticed that the 45's are a little tall, but i know with the width of the rim i cant run 205/40's, which i have, because too much rim will stick out. Plans will be simple, lower, lip kit, hybrid spoiler, a little carbon fiber, just nice, clean, call it jdm, call it rice, call it whatever. This is what im looking for and i think in time it will turn out real nice. pics will be up as soon as i have tires on the rims... all imput welcome....

I'm pretty sure 215/45 is the size to buy if you do not want to have less load capacity than stock (that's what my uncle in the tire business told me about 205/40s)
