Konig Heliums

I am seriously getting the Bronze Konig Heliums for my car. What size tires do you think I can get with them? Also..since I am by far not a tire guy...what size tires should I look for? I am thinking of getting some Kumho's, Nitto's or something like that on it.

I would suggest a 215/45/ZR17 for whatever size rim you get...I have 17's on mine, they seem to ride even smoother than the stock rims, obviously and they seem to be a good all-around tire...but some people say that the ride of aftermarket rims isn't perfect, but mine are smooth...only took me 4 times of wheel balancing & re-balancing to get it right!

I'd go with a 50 or 55 series tire for the heliums. Nothing lower than that. The smaller size is already going to throw off the spedometer. You don't want to throw it off too much. Keep in mind that you are going to open up a bigger gap in the fender well with the lower profile tire.
