We have someone down here running a 215/45 on the stock wheel and it looks pretty good. It's a little shorter than stock, but it's hardly noticable with the car lowered.
i wanna put 215's on my stockers but i forgot what the right wall size was. can anybody help?
i'm running 215 50 17 but i'm a tad bit taller than stock. i've been thru radar at 70 in a 65 with no problems so my speed didn't get thrown off to much . very minimal help with spinning , i just went with the 215 50 17 cause i wasn't sure an the tire place said it was really close .

215/50-17 is the only other size you should EVER use on stock wheels. They are going to be .1" taller than the stock KDW2 tires, .4" taller than stock Michelins on 03s.
i got some 235-45-17 eagle f-1s for free and threw them on and they work good especially on the track with about 18psi in the tires theres a big foot print

there isnt a size that will match the stock kdw2? im gonna get yokohama s.drives 215's but i wanna make sure they r the same height or the closest possible to the stock kdw2's.

if you put them on different ends, it doesn't matter about a little diameter difference. Pretty much any of the 205/50 will be damn similar (a tenth or two at most) and then the 215/50 are all pretty much 25.5" tall. The very most difference you could get would be right around 1/2" and that's if you find the shortest 205/50 and tallest 215/50.

i was thinkin the same thing. y is he sayin 235? its way bigger than a215 n way too big on a stock wheel. lol
i was told by the tire company that they wouldn't put anyting bigger on my stock wheels than a 215 . to much risk of the tire rolling over the lip of the rim an then they would be at fault . so they straight up said no . which was fine with me the last thing i want is a set of unsafe tires
