Just need a bit of advice on profile sizing as I'm going to be running 17x10j and can't get an idea of what sizing the side Walls need If I run 215/40/17 am I going to be running too much stretch to sidawall ratio or do I go with 45s??
The offset is 15 and I have to run about that amount of stretch and help appreciated ;)

Cheers lads !!
