I just bought these rims

The website from the German maker has recommended sizes, but I'm not sure which are best. Please look at the choices and help me decide. I want Dunlop SP8000 tires, but they don't make a 235/40/17 or a 245/40/17 size. They do make a 215/45/17. If not Dunlop SP8000's, then I want the SP9000

if you're not settled on having dunlop rubber, kumho makes the ecsta 712 in a 235/40r17. it's an excellent tire (personal experience) and much less expensive. they do however, wear kind of quickly as do most performance tires, and tend to get a little noisy when they're wearing down.

but at half the price . . .
