What tires?

Gonna get some 17x8 +35 rims that should clear Brembos. If not, I'll use the appropriate spacer. Question is what size tire to fill the wheel well the most without looking like ****??? Car is on Pedders so it's not all that much lower than stock. No need for stretching.

I'm thinking 235 or 245 17 but not sure on the height. 40 or 45?

Thanks. I like 40 on 18s but haven't ever had 17s so didn't know if I should up it to 45.

Damn. Should've probably gone with 245 45 17.

Got the wheels on the car and miles of gap. Current setup is 17x8 +35 with 235 40 17 on Pedders. I might do pics later. Not happy with the looks yet. Maybe get rid of the Pedders. Who knows?
