I've got 215/45/17 No kits, although its lowered 1.5" front, 1 " rear.

I used to have 205/40's I think, but I bought new tires and I'm much happier with how the 215/45's fill the wheel well a little more. Looks a little more substantial, but I guess its just personal preference.

225/45/17's no lowering, but blown shocks (i think)

205/40 17's



not lowered

thanks a bunch you guys. i think i will go with the 45 over the 40.

you saw my car already so get the visual back in your head!

check my profile....215/45/17..but dropped 1.5"

those xxx's matter since the 40 and 45 is a function of it. . .but w/e

Of course they matter but dont make a real difference between the 205-225 range. Which is the most common chosen tyre for the Celica's

For example. A 205/45/17 tyre would be as effective as a 235/40/17 tyre in height/thickness, But since the specific type of tyre is very rare (as in no one buys them in that size) prices for them are.

I had 215/45/17 tyres and would have anything less then that in diameter. Those big arches of a 6GC need to be filled up. Even with my 18" rims I think a 40 wall tyre would be better to fill things up (have 35 wall now)

I have 205/40/17 on front and 215/40/17 on back and don't like them. I'll be going for 45s next time. 40s just look silly with stock suspension. Also, the actual tyre tread pattern makes a big difference. The tread I currently have gives the optical illusion of making the wheels look skinnier (<205) than they really are. I'll be changing the tread pattern next time, too Sorry no pics at the moment, my car is at the garage.
