Do we like?

I think I want to get these, keep it nice and simple..what do you think?



If I get these in 17's then the 215/45/17 would be good for me right?

They are 17x7 so then those tires should be good right?

I thought 45's were ideal for a 17 on a LS...didn't I read that somewhere?

For that size rim, your tire selection is fine.

You should however get 225/40/18 instead...you'll want 18's after 6 months easy!

your gona have to look up the spec of the tire to see if the match same ride height as stock. tirerack.com is a great place to find that out. They tell you what the overall height of any tire they carry is so that you can have an accurate rading on your odometer.

so just find what stock height is and find a tire (for a 17" rim) that has the same overall height as stock. Pretty simple and easy.
