tires...205s or 215s, also what offset is preferred?
 

I'm not interested in straight line racing, I want the best handling in the turns.

Which is better for that type of driving 205s or 215s?

I am putting these on 17x7s. 40mm or 42mm are the best offsets for our cars right?

For handling a bigger contact patch is always better215's

I got 215's last week...
There fine and closest size to orignal stock size

205's!! they look hotter and nicer if u plan on lowering ur car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

<< For handling a bigger contact patch is always better215's >>



Contact patch area is a constant as long as you 1. use the same tire pressure AND 2. have the same force acting on that wheel corner. (P=F/A and therefore A=F/P)

Plus Sizing

the actual height difference between 205's and 215'a is less than 2millimeters.. the widtch difference is 10mm.. 1cm..the width of a dime.. so the differences aren't exactly night and day. but 215's bro!!!

Closer to stock. and it's a bigger number so that's like 5hp more than 205's

Also with 215's your better off gettign 42mm offset just to avoid any possible rubbing.

better to play it safe

so with 18x7.5 go with 215/40??

215 :tup:
