Re: [SPOC] Thoughts on Tires

[Dan McGoldrick]

Depends on what kind of rims. I have 17" TSW Spirits and i bent all 4 of them with 205/40 nitto 450s on them. Hit a bump on the way to Ocean City. I had only had the rims for 3 weeks. Man I was pissed. I have 215/40 Yokohama Paradas on there now and have had no problem. I have heard complaints from people about TSWs bending very easily though. I know people that have gotten rid of them for that specific reason. the 45 series will offer more rim protection though.   - Dan McG - 1999 SL2 Dark Blue   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 11:54 PM Subject: Re: [SPOC] Thoughts on Tires I was thinking about 205/45 17's  would my sidewalls be too thin and risk damage to the rim?  otherwise i'd get 205/50 16's.  both would have the same diameter as the OEM 195/60 15's so speedo and odo arent an issue
