Thread: What is a good tire size for my 17's

What do you guys think would be a good tire size for my 17" SVT Cobra rims, right now the ride hight is stock but I have eibach springs to go on it soon.

i believe the green gp i posted had 235/50/17s

right now they have 235/55/17

yep im right..that is the best size in looks and overall dimensions compared to stock size

Thanks Ill have to get that size then

they just need a shorter sidewall to look better

Yea after I paint them Ill probably put new tires on them

dont paint them.

especially since i know you're going to paint them white.

id say 245/50/17 BUT: fender rolling will be a must.

What other color would they look good in? And I think they would look better in white then the silver

Im really not trying to get into rolling the fenders

Rolling fenders it pretty easy though..

i run 245/45 no need for fender rolling. white rims on a white car look nice.

im sure he plans on lowering it on Eibachs though

I am, its not that I cant roll the fenders its just that Id rather not if I dont have to

with that offset youre gonna probably need to roll regardless.

There was a guy on here who had them with Eibachs and didn't need to roll them

225/55/17 is the size you are looking for, that's what comes stock on 06 GP GT and is same circumference as your stock 225/60/16 so your speedo will read correctly.

he rubbed a little in the back. i know boostjunkie had both his fenders rolled on, but hes got 255/45/17's.

i think they look good in the silver. just clean them up on the right sized tire and drop your car like it's hot. because it will be.
