Hey guys, Im getting rid of my 18s(selling them locally, no you cant have them), there way to sluggish and heavy, and I can barely spin them up heh. I want 17inch 5Zigen Typhoons in gunmetal.

The Sizes are 17x7.5 and 17x8, what width would you guys buy for performance, Im thinking the 8s would be good but I might loose steering and get madd understeer. So what size would you buy?

And as tires go, I either want Toyo Proxes T1-S's, BFgoodrich T/A KDW's(new style tread), or Yokohama AVS ES100. Im sort of leaning towards the Proxes T1-S because Ive heard nothing but good things about them.

If I get the 7.5in width wheel would 215/45/ZR be a good performing tire? I want to do it right this time...

thanks
