Just gota set of 17x8 mille miglia mm11-3, right now there being painted black (gloss black not that stupid JDM look) to go on my alpine white compact. Anyways what tire size should i go with. i don't want balloon tires yet i also don't want tires that won't look like they fill in the fenders. The car is also sitting on h&r race springs and bilsteins. last wheels i had 205/40 on 17's i want something with a little more meat to em thanks

Why don't you just go for the standard spec on that wheel size?
225/45x17

One caveat though.......not sure how much lower your suspension is, that might affect the ultimate size you can go, even with the standard size!!!

Thanks, that what I'm leaning to do.
Yeah, just plus-size it correctly and you should be good to go. And 225/45/17 is correct; I'm running the same size as well.

i like 215 45 17
that have the same circumference of 235 40 17...
I'm partial to the 235 setup, although I like a nice bulbous tire. I'd say go with the 225, it's safe and will give you a bigger contact area.
