While searching for a full size spare, I found a set of 2nd Gen TL-S alloys for a heck of a price that could not be passed up, the only issue is that they came off of a civic with a 5 lug conversion with 204/40/17.
The tire are BRAND NEW!!! Would anyone run these on there TL? What is width difference between 205 and 215? Thanks in advance for your time.

 

**205/40/17** typo

 

a few MM, many go from 205 stock to 215 on replacements

 

So 205 is stock? Ive been running 215 for 6 years I thought that was stock, Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Maybe but 40 isn't, you should be running 50's.....they're going to look strange. 215/50/17 IMO

 

different years had different rims and tire width 215 may have been stock for you

40 is a very common sidewall profile (number = percentage of sidewall height to tread width)
I run 225-40-18s on the 01,,looks low and mean on Teins

 

Spring or coilovers? Can you post a pic...I may be open to it in the future. I don't think I'm low enough to rock 40's

 

I run 35s


255/35/18 to be exact.

 

You will be throwing your speedo off by quite a bit.

 

I just realized 01tl4tl runs 18's, the OP has 40's on 17's which will leave an unpleasant gap unless he's slammed as hell. I wouldn't go any lower than 45's on a TL 17 and thats if they were 225s
