Default 215/40 or 215/45 17s???? Help me Choose!

What do you think I should buy for tires on my teg? 215's will fit, right? and are 45's too tall? will they rub. I just wanna get a tire that is fat enough I don't have to have panic attacks when I hit a pothole in the road and worry bout bending or cracking my rims, so...:

215/40? or 215/45?
17s....:dunno:
those are 205/40's right now

it doesn't look like you're lowered, but i could be wrong, you'll definitely be able to do 215/40, 45 i don't know... check out this page, it might be able to help you

To maintain that profile you'd need 35s, but 45s will be huge. I'd say 40s. How wide are your rims?

the 215's will raise your car up a bit too...the overall diameter is higher (the sidewall number '45' isnt a straight measurement, it's a ratio of the treadwidth).

i sold tires for 3 years, and avoided 215's altogether on integras

205/40/17 to keep close to overall diameter to keep your odometer in check
