tire size choice opinions
hey all,
im looking to buy some tires for my rota sdr's but im torn between two sizes.
205/50/17 or 225/45/17
anyone think 205/50s are a crazy size to wrap on sdrs on a my05? does it looked stretched?
i speculate i wouldnt rub with either sizes.
thoughts?

Go with 225/45/17, it will sit nicely on a 17x7.5
You shouldn't be worried about the 'stretch' of the tire, it's not an aggressive wheel size, but 205/50/17 will be slightly taller, and it's an off size as a car size tire. Go for width!

good input everyone.
i like the idea of going for width. i shud be able to put some 5mm spacers for a wider stance?
ive always like a wide stance look, just couldnt afford the 10 inch wide rims :-P
