 | A Tyre question I'm looking at importing some of these from the States, I've had them before and they are rather good, and well priced, even considering the shipping and tax. Thing is, they now only do a 235/40/17 and not a 235/45/17 ? Would I be ok with the 40, or should I just buy 4 x 255/40/17 ? Linky is here.. http://www.falkentire.com/xhtml/tires.php?category=2 Moff |

What about 245/45x17 ? That's what were on some R33GTR wheels that I had and used for track action. | |

| 245/45/17 on my Stagea all round, the speedo is now accurate within 3 mph @100mph another bit of useless information (unless theres a copper behind you and your following me ) |

| My old car felt better on 18's than 17's on a track, opposite on the road mind you, So I would buy new rims and fit the 255/40x18's |
