17x11 + 215/40 is it possible?

if it's not on tyrestretch, then don't do it

thanks, some time ago i was wondering about the wheel specs of this Volvo...

actually on the 16's doesn't look that bad, but i'm not sure if the 17's will look the same way...

and is there any tires brand that are 215/40 but looks more like 225/40, compared to other 215's ???

No it doesn't, but then again he cambers it in pretty well

I would go for MINIMUM 225's imo!

Federals run really wide, I don't know if you can get them over there though. Pretty much any high performance tire will run wide too, such as azeni's or hankook rs3's.

thanks, actually locally can find only Federal's 595 EVO for a good price and some expensive Federal's SS-595 and Federal's 595 RS.

can you tell me if the 215/40's 595 EVO runs wide almost like 225/40 ?

215s on 11s?!

I wouldn't put 215s on anything bigger than 9, 225 on 10s

215/40 goes on a 10 easily, 11 is stretching it

Here's a swedish volvo v40 with 215/40 on 16x11", gives you a hint!

215/40 on a 10" is perfect, 235/40 or 245/35 should work well on an 11" wheel

thanks guys, after all i got some 245/35 Conti's and hope to look just right on my 11's

and found really good offer for two 205/40, but i'm not sure how will they look on 9,5x17 compared to the rears 245/35 and 11x17, and probably will go for 215/40 as i'm almost sure it matches the stretch and the overall diameter of 245/35...

225/35 on 11

[projektzwo]

my bad, but my wheels will be a bit wider, they're 11,5" and if i sandwich mount them they'll be 12" wide, so please tell - 245/35/17 Conti's are better to stretch on 11,5" or 12" wide wheel?

[nathanrw]

I have a buddy that put a 215/45 on an 11.5. So I think it would be possible for sure.

well it looks like there will be no problem to stretch 245/35 on 12" wide wheel
