[urq] Tire size on 17" wheels

[brian hoeft]

I thought my 17's were 7.5" wide (not on an UrQ though) and ive always used
225 or 235/45's, so if your looking at 8" wide, 215's sound too narrow
unless your into that "poke" look and dont pull serious G's. but then whats
the point of sporting an UrQuatt?

I'd personally go no bigger than 16" retaining plenty of travel. The 17's I
remember putting on mine at the time looked great and felt wrong, but thats
me. 8" sounds wide for the fronts IMO..
