[Kiggamaxwell]

just bought enkei 17x8 45 offset.

What would be a good tire size that will sit the same now. I am lowered on HR springs about 1.5 drop and I don't want to sit any lower.

Thanks guys

Which year is your car? The 2013's came with 17's and the 2014+ has 18's on it.

If its a 2012/2013 then the stock size 215/45/17 is perfect but you can also run 225/45/17. It's only 1.6% larger.

The 225 is very easy to find and should match the stock diameter pretty closely.


If you have a 2014/15 that came with 18's and are swapping down to a 17" the 225/45 is still a really close match and will fit well. It is only -0.4% smaller. That is negligible and could be made up simply in the difference in tire brands/treads/tire pressure.

Why start a new thread? We had good info going in the other one. You should at least go back and post up what you ending up getting. Don't leave us hanging.

Just got a set of STT 520 17x9 +20 with Yokohama S Drive 225/35R17....

Not sure how an inch width makes a difference.

Still working on the drop. Have Eibach Sportlines now. Maybe coilovers down the road for me
