[urq] Tire size on 17" wheels

[Mike Sylvester]

215-45-17 has almost same overall diameter as the stock 205-60-15.
That is what I am using on my car.  Being an '83 without rolled fenders,
I do get a little rubbing in the rear.

> Long time lurker here.......thanks for the wealth of information.  I just bought a set of 17"x8" et 32 wheels and need to equip them with tires for use on the urq.  I'm toying with 215-40s or 215-45s but I'm open to other suggestions.  I would consider 225-40s but it looks like only a couple tires are available in that size.  Are 225-45s a viable size?  Care to hook a brother up with some knowledge?
