I am 95% sure that I'm going to order a new set of wheels this week , 17" Kahn RSR's with 205/40ZR17 front and 235/40ZR17 rear Avon ZZ3's (as fitted to new Tamora) what are my standard 5 spokes worth and is anyone interested in them ? The wheels are in stunning condition with half worn 225/50ZR15 SO2s on front and 5mm 245/45ZR16's on rear , the fronts have a tiny bit of edgewear due to PAS. Thanks.

Twerlie , are you sure about those rear profiles as

235/40x17 = 255/30x17 and
255/35x17 = 235/45x17

The reason I went for the Avons is I screwed the best deal on a set from the rep , whereas I couldn't buy Toyo/Bridgestone as cheap.
Is 205/40x17 too low for the front ?

The way it works is that 215 is your width in milimetres and 45 is the percentage of the width that gives you your ride height
eg 45% of 215 = sidewall height.
