PullMyFinger Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, having the GLT...the 40 profile will make her feel a little more peppy. (smaller overall tire)If you had turbo with lots of mods, the 40s just take you to spin city. I would def. go 45 then.But for you, its a toss up. Just watch out for those pot holes and sharp edges. Sidewall failures and bent rims are expensive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerymt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 that's a good question to ask, but the later part just sucked. 205's would be improper for a 7.5 or 8.0" wide rim.7.0" = 2057.5" = 215/2258.0" = 225+My opinion is the same, but the fact is that 205 is fine on 7-8" wheels. Look at specs for 205 width tires on tirerack. 205 is NOT "improper" for a 7.5" wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
