Question

P-zeros out, toyos in, but 215/40/17`s or 235/40/17`s? That is the question. Does the car have any preferences?(after all she has to wear them!

Ian's right. 235 will not fit a 7in rim properly (need 7.5 or 8in), nor the car (will rub on rear arches).

Tob, almost everyone on 17s runs 215/40x17 as 205/45x17 are very hard to get. They run just fine, mate.
