i dont want stock tires... Just cant find good performance all season tires in the 205/50/17 size, all i find is like 215/45/17.etc. i just want to know what other sizes other than 205/50/17 i can put on these 17's and have it look good with no rubbing issues.

Problem Solved I Found 205/50/17's

Here you go bro. The best prices around.

Just choose 205/50/17 and here is the link for it.

Ive noticed when I was just browsing that Goodyear makes several different tires in the OEM size, actually. Im sure that some of the other companies do as well, just checkout their websites directly.

easy--thats oem size for the RL--and since we share a fair amount in common---no problem.

I was thinking 225/45/17 and they are close diametre to stock--so speedo and gearing will not be afftected much.

Check out this link--and go to the tire calculator at the bottom
