Tire Size Questions
I am looking at getting new tires for my S4 and need some help deciding on the size.
What size tire can I go up to on the 17" rims?
What size tire can I go with on a 18x8" rim
I am looking to be as close to stock speedo as possible, with the speedo reading slower rather than faster. TIA

You'll need to stick with 225's in either case to have the speedo remain accurate...
...but with 235/40-18's on 18x8's I am happier than with 225/40-18's I had previously, and my speedometer reads about 1.5% slower than I'm actually going. 235/40-17's, and usually, 235/45-17's will work on the stock rims. I don't think you're going to fit 245's or wider on those wheel sizes very well -- you'll want an 8.5" wide wheel, and maybe differing offsets.

Hey Lance, are those the Ronal LZs you have on your car? I've been thinking about getting these; they look sharp. Is there a larger picture with them? Do you like them? Thanks.

LZ's are awesome wheels; get compliments on them from strangers in parking lots!
...and Gary@Ronal's got the best special on them this month I've ever seen! I suggest you hurry.
