Another one for you guys...

what is the best tire size for a 17x7.5 wheel ?? (+38offset)
I am guessing it should be 205/40 R17 , but I could be wrong so I just want to make sure...

the other thing.......I think that I am going to go with the Kumho Ecsta 712 since most of you guys here seem to be very happy with them........the best price I found for the size mentioned above was $78 for a tire ??? is that good ?
know any place where I could find them for a better price ???

any info and input will be appreciated !

That's the right tire size for the 3rd gen. Jesse, is that right for the 1st gen also?

Tirerack or discount tire always have good prices, one of them carries it, the other doesn't, don't recall which though.

yes, _great_ tires for daily driving, _good_ tires for autox.

you could probably get a 215 tire on there...with maybe a 40mm offset, but that extra .5" width is gonna keep your choices limited.

so 205/40 R17 would do it then ?

and I found the Kumho for the cheapest price at tirerack.com, price even includes shipping, which I just found out.....
