^^ 205 is too much for a 9J rim
plus 35 sidewall is NOTHING. There won’t be enough sidewall to allow stretching a 205 because it’ll have no flex.
215 on a 9J is the jam
40 or 45 sidewall for 17".
call tires23 and ask for jacky, tell Samson sent you. They have a cheetah bead setter for mad stretching.

thanks alot , see i would have efffed up
i figured a 205 would be way to small for a 9jrim but i wanted to make sure, a few people have said 205 205 and i wasnt sure.
what size you think then
215/40 r17??
what about a 205/45? or something?
