my experiance with the 225-45-17 i got pirelli's used for $200 all four. never had a problem break down problem.
but the side wall would buck out and poeple always thought my tires were deflated. it was not fun cornering as it felt unstable. i will never go to 225-45-17 on the stock 17-6 wheel.
as far as tracsion it was the same no better improvement what so ever.
Would a 215/45/17 tire (Fuzion ZRi) be fine on the stock wheel?

SPT is a slightly better tire. 205/50 or 215/50 will be virtually the same performance. Choosing one over the other wouldn't show much difference in performance. The 205 is slightly shorter and lighter, which helps with acceleration, but the slightly wider 215 would have slightly better initial grip.
here is some info i think everyone here should check out. BFGoodrich Tires | g-Force? T/Aź KDW | Tire Sizes & Specs
pay attention to the Revs/Mile at 45 mph and Overall Diameter columns. the closest match to wider tires while still maintaining the correct diameter compared to the original stock KDW2s would be as follows:
17" wheels
215/50ZR17 on a 6 min to 7.5 max wide wheel
235/45ZR17 on a 7.5 min to 9 max wide wheel
18" wheels
235/40ZR18/XL on a 8 min to 9.5 max wide wheel
265/35ZR18 on a 9 min to 10.5 max wide wheel
19" wheels
235/35ZR19/XL on a 8 min to 9.5 max wide wheel
265/30ZR19/XL on a 9 min to 10 max wide wheel
now what offsets or spacers you would need for a 10" wide wheel to be stuffed under our wheel wells i am not sure, but i am pretty sure the offsets would have to be in the teens to low 20s.
could anyone please find out what offsets we would need to run to fit 8.5 in wide to 10 in wide wheels on our NSRT4s. i dont care if the tire sticks out of the wheel well as i i would use these just for drag and 1/4mile racing anyhow.

Where do you plan on getting these mystical 8.5-10" rims?

ok maybe this was posted before, but when I go to balance my wheels.... when I measure the rim width it shows 7 inches.....??? Not 6? I dunno could someone help me out?
wheel measurement is from the inside of the bead, not the outside. That's also why if you measure the wheel diameter across the face, it'll be something like 18.7" instead of 17.
