Morning Gary. Need some help in re-sizing a tire from my original OEM
I really like the BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW 2's but your site says they dont come in my size...235/45/17's
What would fit in it place? 225/40/17's?
What's the difference?
Thanks.

Check out one of these Tire Size calculators...
...which will help you determine the correct size tire that you need in order to retain a "as close to stock" rolling diameter tire as possible.
A 225-45-17 tire would be much closer to stock size compared to a 225-40-17.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/67015.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/67015.phtml</a></li></ul>

The best 17" fit we've found is the stock 235/45R17. 225/40R17 is not available in any tire manufacturer we carry. 225/45R17 is shorter and more narrow, avoid if possible...<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
