tire size question
got me some 17x7 rims and deciding on what tire size to go with. should i get 205/45/17 with a 1.75/1.5 F/R drop using h&r sport springs? anyone have this setup? or something similiar? i don't want any rubbing going on during cornering and stuff. also i was looking into the parada spec 2's and the AVS ES100 tires. which one would be better? i need something that would last a long time cuz this will be my daily driver. i saw the prices on these at tirerack.com and theres not really much of a difference between them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I have the same spring setup, and I used to have 17x7" rims...I ran a 205/40/17, which is closer to the stock overall tire diameter. I think 45's will be too big. I had the old school paradas on them, and on my 16's I now have the AVS ES100s. Both are good tires, the AVS will perform better in wet weather.
