I have a '07 civic lx and am getting some new 17x7 motegi FF7's and want to know what the best tire size would be? Either 205/50 or 215/45 any suggestions?

 

205/45/17 should be fine

 

thanks for the input, I'm deployed right now and am going on leave soon so I am trying to make the best decision! I've heard between the 205/50's and the 215/45's that tthe overall performance isn't that much of a differance! I just want to be sure so I can get the most outa my money!

 

I vote the 205/50s for more sidewall. But thats just me. Sidewall = smoother ride

 

the 2o5/50/17 will rub thus the reason i said 205/45/17

 

guys, two things...

1. OEM tire size for 17" rims on a 07 LX is 215/45/17
2. given the above, I seriously doubt that 205/50 will rub
