You went with a smaller tire than stock?

That explains why it looks... odd. Your speedometer is going to be WAY off. 6.4%, to be exact.

Glad you didn't go with 5-spokes, though! (2thumbs)

nope your speedometer is going to be way off like goldwing said. You should of got Toyo proxes tire, stock size or at least went with the same tire you have on now but with P215/45 R17

That's all that matters.

On the plus side, you'll accelerate quicker with less rotating mass.

Yea but on the negative side, the extra mileage will kill the resale value of his car.

As long as your happy with it and the mods you make, that's what all counts in the end.
