I'm going to be buying new tires very soon and I need to decide what size to get.
Currently, I'm running 205/50/17 Bfg g-force tires. They may be me narrower than stock (they don't make them in stock size) but they served me very well.
This time around I'd like to get a wider tire, at least the stock 215/45 or 50/17 or hopefully 225/45/17.
The aspect ratio is perfect for my needs I'm just worried about the extra width being a detriment rather than a benefit.
I know that 225's will fit on the wheels, but would I want to make that purchase? Will I be loosing significant sidewall rigidity by using an over sized tire?
Does anyone have pictures of a 225 on an OEM GSX wheel?
I'm weary to just buy the stock size and not maximize my capabilities. Besides the 225/45/17's are cheaper
Thanks in advance.
