Nothing wrong with them.... Was advised by the Toyo technical rep. to run at 36psi front and 33psi rear due to the reduced load rating of the tyres at that size..
if you go bigger, your speedo will under read by about 4%.

I'm running 215/35/18 on my 95. So, I'd think 215/45/17 would be best. But they should be ok. I was told by a rule of thump for every 1" you increase the alloy you decrease the profile by 10.
