[s-cars] what is the optimum tire size for 17x8 wheel

[Serge Filanovsky]

I believe this can vary from tire to tire, depending on the "squareness" of
the cross section of the tire. The point is that the tread be relatively in
line with the bead, so the sidewall is not deflected outward (or inward) too
much. So basically you have to check with the manufacturer, for the specific
tire you plan on using. Tire Rack may also have this info for the tires they
carry. 

Audi speced 245/40/17 for their OE 17 inch rims. I use Kumho Ecsta MX (23
lb) tires on OZ superleggera (19 lb.) rims, I think it is a great combo for
the money.
