i ordered my wheels and now i need to know what size tire to get. they are 17x7 w/4" bs. 215,225,235/45/17???? i want to use the same tire all the way around. i have 1" springs and plan on doing the shelby drop asap, so it will be lowered about 2"s. i need to know what you guys are running not just the chart

thanks

On 17x7 wheels i would rather see somehting upwards of a 235 size tire, especially with a lowered stance. I currently have 225's on my 14x6 centerline wheels. I think they look too narrow.

With the 4" backspacing i would think 225 series would be about it. If you have your fender edges rolled then maybe 235. Anyways, i would find a local store and try a 225/45/17.
