205/40/17 or 215/45/17 ?

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

Im debating whether to get 205/40/17 or 215/45/17.
Going on 17x7 wheels.
45mm offset
btw, im well over 2" drop.

2.5 inch drop on my cd5 with 215-45-17 and no rubbing whatsoever...

i'm pretty sure my offset is right around there too, also running 17x7

[chessboxer]

bigger is better.
Im very happy with my 225 45 17s.
Thus, go with the 215's at least.

215 would give you a more correct size if you are running a CB or CD or even a newer Accord. 205/40 doesn't leave enough sidewall. And I agree with Chessboxer. If you can fit 225 that would be even better. The wider they are, the better.

225's? Damn, chess..

Jak, i was gonna say 215's as well.

215-40-17..

215-40-17..

Beat me to it Definitely a good size right there..

[owequitit]

215-40-17 is the most correct size for a CB with 17's, but they are much harder to find than 215-45, and the difference really isn't that substantial.

[lummieCB7]

These are 215/40/17 Falken 512 Ziex on all 4 wheels with 17x7 +34 offset in front and 17x7.5 with +40 offset in back.

215-40-17 is the most correct size for a CB with 17's, but they are much harder to find than 215-45, and the difference really isn't that substantial.

and when you do find them they are more expensive too.
After searching and reading some reviews i went with Hankook HR2's
