I've bought some new alloys. Speedline Turinis. ET 42 (I'll be adding a 5mm spacer to make them ET37 so I can use the AP Racing big brake kit). What tyres would be best suited to get, taking in mind i have the KW 30mm lowering springs. I currently have the options of 215/40/17 (currently fitted to my standard wheels, I think these may stick out too far with the new offset of ET42 +5mm spacer?

205/40/17, Thinner and smaller
205/45/17 Thinner but taller
Or transfer over my 215/40's ???

Anyone who's been in the same situation help would be much appreciated!!

not to worry now

I went with having my 215/40's put on my new alloys. I'll get some spacers and see how they go.

They look great too
