Good info,Yeah.They will be on 40+ offset.But not on a FC

I think 235 is the max id go.

Do you have any pics to show how wide,or the profile of the tire?

Now I just gotta burn up these weakling tires I have (225/45/17 and 245/40/17).
You got to check out tirerack,I have bought 6 tires from them,and they just dont sell tires,they show alot of specs on it.
I compared the 205/40/17 to the 235/40/17 and its only 1inch taller,Not to bad,I didnt check on width,which I need to do.
