This would apply to his 17’s!
Our cars were designed to have a 24.7" diameter tire. When changing tires/rims you want to stay as close to that as possible for the many reasons i mentioned above. Theres no reason to go with a 55 or 60 series 17" tire just for the sake of “incase you hit a curb”. stick to stock (or as close as possible) sizes, that was my point in all of this (minus my rant). K?
