hey thanks guys i appreciate. i'm assuming the third of the bunch is the best?? but would i be ok with the first of the three? will i see a big difference?

it depends on the wheel and the car. the third (235/45/17) will only fit on a 17x7.5" rim. the others will just be roughly the same, but the 215/45/17 should have a stiffer sidewall than the 205/40/17.*



*Correct me if im wrong guys
