Hi guys & gals

I have 7 X 17's to go on my type r but want to get the right size tyres... I obviously have an sti, but it's on 'sti' lowered springs and Bilsteins all round..

Do I go for 205X40/17 or 215X40/17?

Thanks

 

ive just fitted 215 40 17 and my sti is very low indeed.

 

205/45-17 or 215/45-17. Most 215/40-17's don't have the correct load rating

 

Toyos do.........

 

I have Toyo Proxes T1S, 215x40/17 on my Type-R. No probs!

 

Yep, Toyo 215/40's on my Type R for the summer and 205/45 Toyo Snowprox for the winter

 

Ummm... i can only find load index of 83 on toyo's in 215/40/17?

By any chance did you get that info from Tyres-Online? Anyway, if you go to the Toyo website, they list the 215/40-17 T1-S with a load index of 87, not 83. I guess they should know

 

No, toyo web site

When I emailed toyo they suggested the 215/45/17 cos of the higher load index..

Ah..I c US website do ones with higher load but not uk..

Hmmm...interesting, I wonder why??

 

Wadya mean.

Bilstieins all round.

OEM.

And What STI springs?

Mines ,where hard as fak. (Changed to Eibach. Very good).

 

Goodyear GSD3s 215/40/17s.

Only ones.

Pricey. but worth it.
