Tyre Choice Chosing right tyre

butcher · 1st May 2008, 06:13

Hi guys/gals,

I've finally bit the bullet and ordered some Konig Feather 17's. I'm confused as to what size tyre I should get, without messing the rolling radius. FWH posted a link to the 'Wheel Bible' which was very technical, too technical for me to understand

Standard is 205/55/16, the new rims are 7/17, what would the ideal tyre size be? I've come up with 215/45 or 205/50....any help will be appreciated

This is the rim btw...

I know it's a really tough question, but I was hoping that at least one person would be able to help.....

don't know if it helps at all but on the standard civic 17" they are 225/45 r17

Yes, think that is a good overall choice, and what Honda recommends. lso a "common" dimension easy to find good offers (at least here...)
