Tires for 17 x 7 Racing Hart wheels on stock suspension

[Raydioactive]

First of all, I don't yet own a MP5, but I should soon. Also, I'm looking to pick up some 2001 MP3 17 x 7 Racing Hart wheels that are on craigslist. I'm wondering what would be the best size tires to put on them? The MP5 I'm probably getting has stock suspension and I'm not planning to lower it anytime soon if at all. Thanks for your recommendations.

If you're not going to lower it, 205/45 or 215/45 should be just fine for you.

I got my P5 today. It kinda looks like a grocery-getter that some old grandma would drive, but hopefully I'll be getting some 17's and window tinting soon. It is fun to drive, though!

Yeah, you're right. I'm really happy with my P5. This forum is way cool too.

So, the Racing Harts were sold. But, I found some 17" MSR's that look cool, but they already have tires on them (Yokohama 215/50). I don't know the offset or the wheel width. Does anyone know if 215/50 tires will fit without rubbing with stock suspension? Pic below:

This tool is awesome. It lets you compare the stock wheels and tires to what you're thinking about getting and essentially lets you know if the new setup will fit. Very cool.
