Hey guys :) got my self some new wheels and I've been wondering about the tire profile to get.

Im rocking 17'' inch 9J wide Rial's and I am trying to get the best look.

Will 235/40/17 tires be a big difference to 215/45/17 ones ? The numbers suggest 215's but has anyone ever compared those two in real life ?

please let us know vehicle make/model/year.
maybe rim specs would be good to know in this situation (witdh/offset)

the look is not the onyl factor to consider with tire size, make sure youre fitment will be right and calculate your speedo
i personnaly just changed my front tire on my van from 235 to 205, big difference in clearance, not so much on looks

I already have figured out, a friend helped me. Will be getting 225/45 for front and 235/40 for the back :)

Why not do it properly... Staggered wheels. Staggered tires won't really make a difference.
