Default How Big You Say???

yo guys i havn't made a post in a while and btw ill be putting up frestvideos of my neon cause i have a better camera so be thinking thursday they will be up.
but heres my question.i have bigger than stock tires on my neon.they're 195 and i was thinking how big you can go.i dont want to put spacers on my lugs cause thats not good for your car.and im wanting a fat low profile tire instead of a tall one.and all of us have the same stuff base wise so any opinions???

Well, 205 is the widest I would go on a 17-inch... heard of people squeeking by with 215s, but not all tire manufacturers 215s are the same... some narrower, some wider... so I wouldnt risk it unless you use a spacer.

Actually that goes for 15s as well... not sure on the height ratio though... 215 on a 15 may be okay, not sure. Tirerack.com can tell you though...

205's on a 17" rim will work fine, I have 205/40/17 Yokohama parada's. They fit good and handle great (a little loose in the rear till they where broke in), I highly recommend these tires if your going 17's you wont be sorry.
