Should i go with 235/45 or 235/50 to fill in the gap more.....are 50's still low profile. Check my signature for car pic. Thank you.

i'd go with 45's, i think 50's would have too much sidewall.

I had 245/45 x 17 on my other GP. It looked really good. Still needed some lowering springs though to truelly close the gap.

245 might be a lil wide, have them do a test fit first to see if it will rub during turns, but deff go with 45 not 50

Not sure if it will fit on a 7" rim. With 245's you don't have rubbing issues typically with GP's. That usually begins when you go to 255's. Then you see rubbing from the fender lip inside. Most people just roll the fender then to take care of it.. With 7" rim though it is best to stick with the 235 IMO.

heh, they are alright, what kind of tire are you looking for? High performance, soft, not last as long, or a harder tire with not as good traction that will last longer??
get them from Discount Tire Co. I gaurantee you will spend less money with labor costs and what not!

well I only have them on for apr thru nov...so they last pretty long that way. They are only 89 through tire rack...so I am either going with those or the Kuhmo, the kuhmo's do have as good of reviews. I have never heard of this brand of tires, but the reviews say they are better than dunlop.
