Standard ride height, would I be ok running 215*45*17's or is it better to stick with my 40*17's
Reason I ask is I got two sets, and I dunno which ones to fit

IIRC the two sizes for tyres on a MY00 (mines a 99) for 17 are either 215 40 17 or 205 45 17.
The 215 45 17 I think are what come standard on the MY01????

You could run the 215/45/17 all round, but it will change the gearing, i.e making it slightly higher, it may foul on arches? not sure, but as a rule, either,
205/50/16.
205/45/17.
215/40/17.
225/35/18.
The wider the tyre the lowerthe profile, as the profile is a percentage of the width. hope this helps.
