I have the 16's and don't care for the look. The sidewalls are a little tall. Maybe I've just been used to 45 series on other cars as my 245/50/16's look very tall. The 275/40/17's look great though. I'll try to post a pic again.

i just bought 4 275 40 17 for my speedlines i just bought, they look excellent off the rims, i have been polishing my aluminum speedlines before i put the tires on, but lookwise i love the way they look, when i had 16's i used the raptors aswell, look is pretty decent i suppose, i could not beleive how well they hook though, my first time to the track i pulled about two or three 2.0,2.1 sixties with the tires at 20 psi, maybe a fluke but for the money im staying with them for my speedlines

theyre 275-40-18s, and for their cheap price (these were the cheapest tires i could find) they hook very well and im very pleased with them.

I had Rikens on my car, I went through them in a heart beat, especially the front ones for some reason I dunno. Oh and in the rain...well just pray before you get in your car. I went with BFG KDW's they hook so good on the street, its like there turning tricks.

Thanks guys. Yeah I was thinking the sidewall on a 245/50-16 looks a little too big as well. If I was to purchase some 245/45-16 instead, will they look ok on our cars? Most people seem to have the 50-16 for some reason.
