Tire size question

Friday, November 05, 2010 7:31 PM

So I'm looking into getting a set of 17's for the Cavalier. It'll eventually be lowered on Eibach Sportlines and KYB struts again. With that setup, what's the best size tire for those 17" wheels? If you have pics, please include them! Thanks!

Mr. Quick

Go with 225/45's. That's the best combo for 17's on our cars, regardless of suspension. With the proper backspacing, I have yet to hear of anyone with any kind of rubbing issues on that size.

yup 225/45 will be your best bet for most tire and correct size.

and can anyone recommend a stiffer set of springs that dont lower ride height? what about those cheap adjustables from canadian tire? there like a threaded pipe with a spring on the outside.
