[QUOTE="vr2turbo, post: 1064262606, member: 92229"] Normal 17" are +42 offset and most comes in at 7 to 7.5J only. 8" got to scout around, especially +30 offset. Try asking those bigger tyre shops. Yup, have to check inner fender as you have gone 40mm wider. My stock Super Saloon last time was 185/70R14, then I tried 205/50R16 because at that time 17" was very expensive. After a few years, 17" came in cheaper and 16" have less choice then only I switch. The tyre size I am using is 215/45R17, and have kept to this size because is the correct conversion, the size is the most common, plenty of tyre choices and cheaper the 225/45 and 235/45R17. Some VR4 club mates are running 235/45R17, of course looks better but will take up some pick up power and will aquaplane more easy. Traction is good enough for me as I use as every day drive. Of course different tyres gives different performance. I have used the likes of Falken ST115, Yoko ES100, Falken FK452, Yoko S-Drive, GY GS-D3, Toyo T1-R, GY Asy, Blue Streak Stiletto, GY Asy2 and GT Radial Champiro HPY. All give different feedback, be it better in wet, dry, aquaplaning resistance, handling, ride comfort and so on... [/QUOTE]
