Tire Calc

The more you try to "fill the gap" with tire the 1) Worse the tire will look, 2) more innacurate your speedo will be.

well if they are 17,s then you need 215/45/17 OR 225/45/17. the 225 being the more accurate for the speedo. id you have 18's then you would wanna go with 225/40/18.


this is my sig

You don't fill the gap by buying a different sized tire. If you want less gap, you need to lower the car.

Also... if those are 17's then yes... getting the proper sized tire will help fill the gap... but only because it's the wrong size that's on there now.

See that tire calculator link above for what you need to know.

Are those 205/40/17's? Use a 225/45/17 and it will look much better.

As mentioned above, if you've got the wrong tires on it (and it sounds like you do) then putting the proper ones on will help fill the gap.
