I hear a 45 profile should be OK if you don't lower it. Most people (inc myself) run a 40 profile.

Many thanks

wont the speedo be slightly out tho?

Correct profile in 17" is 40. You'll get incorrect speedo readings and possible rubbing on full lock, especially with them in 215 width.

I wouldn't fit them personally, but what other decide to do is entirely upto them :yes:

The tested sizes are 205/40/17 and 215/40/17.

www.camskill.co.uk are good, especially if you have a good local tyre fitter who can put them on for you.
