235/45/17 stock tyre change to 215/55/17

Post by rozkmin »

I am not happy with a comfort of stock 235 45 17 tyres and would like to replace them with 215 55 17 . There is 3% speed difference, narrower and higher profile which means better comfort but poorer grip which dont bother me that much. I have 17 fontana wheels 7.5x47et.
I noticed next b8 2015 gen have 215 55 17 stock tyres but 7x 40et rims. Do you think its going look OK on the wider rim?
