could i run 245/35/17?

 

not if you have an 18inch wheel.

How about more details... what are you trying to accomplish?

The common sense is that thinner tires will be a rougher ride and more susceptible to road damage.

 

idk. just need to get sum, new tires, and i had a thought of gettin thinner tires to look a little sleaker look. i was thinking about getting these.

if you aren't lowering the car, the thinner tires will open the fender gap even more and reduce comfort.

So unless you are getting a cheaper deal with the smaller size I don't see the benefit.

I run those DWS in stock size on my Aspecs.

 

so u wouldnt recommend going like 245/45/17?

 

Im no expert but with the rim width not changing I doubt there would be a visible difference in 245 and 250

The height of the sidewall would be my focus

 

mhmm. alright thxs. what else have you done to ur rl?

 

I'm grown up status... LoL.

nothing special, just USA spec and nav tool with a few LEDs and tint.

 

haha. ahh

 

I remember what I was doing to fukk up cars at 17, and I wish I had a place like Azine to get info.

Keep asking questions and be smart with your mods.

 

Runnig smaller tires will make everyone around you drive faster and give you great MPGs.

 

Just keep to stock size with no lowering. unless you saving like a thousand dollars on tires, sign me up if thats the case.


Yeah GROWN MEN STATUS


Are you referring to the speedometer not being accurate? I hope so!

 

Awesome.

OP, you want to keep the overall diameter of the tires the same as stock. The only good way to put thinner sidewalls on your car is to put bigger wheels on.

 

Alright. Thxs guys . Thinking about the continental contact DWS

 

Perfomance > Value > Looks. Great tire for the price.

 

kinda of a stupid question, but did u guys get these installed at autotire?

 

can these tires fit on the oem rims?

 

I am running 245/50/17 Conti DWS. I don't see anything you linked.

 

This thread is not delivering.

 

Im running 235/35/R19, which are very thin. The ride is great and they handle great too, but do need a drop!

 

Larger diameter rims + smaller sidewall tires = same diameter tires = good to go.
