235/45/17 on stock rims? Need help
Hey guys. I'm gonna be dropped on unrevised Z springs in a week or so. I know the wheel/tire calculator says to go with 235/50/17 idealy, but how much different will the spedo be if I went with 235/45/17s? If not much I would think to go that route. Seems like 45 series are the ideal sport sedan size, and will handle a bit better but I need some feedback. Anyone running this setup? Any info is appreciated.

When your speedo reads 60mph, you are actually traveling 57.8mph.

That doesn't seem to be too big of a deal. Especially given the looks and performance gained.

you *should* get 235/50/17 -- only 0.3% speedo error over stock.
