Go to the forum you want to post in, and in the top Left corner there will be a button with the words "new Topic" Press that and presto. a new Thread is borne.
So, you have to be in one of the forums to create a Thread in that forum.
when you are in a thread that same button will read "New Reply"

Rep Power: 380 The difference between stock and those 17s is Negligible. the 17s (205/45-17) are slightly Taller, with a Diamiter of 24.3 in the stock tire a 195/60-15 has a Diamiter of 24.2 in. Hence a +.1 inch increace in total ride Height.
Correction, there is actually an increase of .05 Inches. as half of the total diamiter of the wheel is on the other side of the center. :P

Rep Power: 380 ^^yup, meaning any thing under a 1% difference in size doesn't mean Squat!
and he was asking for specifics... and that only works in the theoretical world.

Rep Power: 380 It means that tire size is a vairable, one companys 205/60-15 Does not nessisairly equal another companys 205/60-15 in height or width....
an example of this is Falkens Azenis RS in 205/50-15 (Its "Official" size) in reality the tire is actually more along the lines of a 218....
Meaning, you will probably not see any change in ride height, or at most +- .1 to .2 inches.
