You'll love them.

Oh and if you're lowering the car to 'track' levels then stick with 205's as my 215/45/17's rubbed like mad at the back with the Cross.

I have been in Bigshows car at Bedford on these tyres and they stick beautifully. As a result I made the leap off the run flats.

If you're not lowering the car, the lower profile tyre can look a bit lost in the wheel arch on a 17" wheel.
