Recommendations on what size and what brand you people have with 17" wheels. I did look in search just want maybe some peoples recent opinions as well. Thanks alot. 1997 Contour GL Zetec Assorted Street Glow Products Indiglo Gauges KKM Intake 17" Konig Tantrums Factory GL Spoiler SVT Body Kit by Spring Beats by: Planet Audio & Crossfire

Your speedo is now reading ridiculously fast. Probably about 8% too fast. AT LEAST 215/45-17, better yet, 225/45-17.
