205/45 is the right size, 215/45 is like .1 inch too big, but i think it's worth it to get some more contact patch

Hehe! This is the 2nd day I have these tires on. So far I like them! I really want to see how they perform in wet and I do plan to aytocross with them.

Thanks.

I might lower it another 1/4 to 1/2-inch since I have the Konis. With the low profile tires, the fender gaps look a little bigger now.

Thinking about doing that later. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nope. I used to have the factory 7-spokes. Now they will eb my 1) autocross wheels when I have enough money to buy S03s and 2) Winter wheels with all season tires.

Chamm25 just answered your question. I went with 205/45 mainly because of the almost perfect diameter. Plus, IMHO, the sidewall of the 215/45 looks really big for some reason.

Hey, don't hijack my thread!

Nice car! The 215/45 filled the fender gap a little better than my 205/45. Is that an EX or SE?

I tried to post these pics for you but all I could see was red "x"! Anyone knows what the problem is?

very nice. Those are my favorite wheels. I plan to get them as soon as i get some money saved up, and preferably 18"s. One question. Do u have a picture from the side thats showing both wheels in a straight angle? those angled shots make me dizzy and i cant seem to get a good image of how itll look on my car. Thanks.

there's a guy on HS with a silver 6th gen sedan rolling on 18" Racing Hart C5s. Can't remember his user name, and whether or not he posts here, but I'll try and get you his username and pics of his car.
