Seems like most guys run a 40 profile.
215/40 R17
235/40 to a 255/40 R17

35 Profile: New rear tire is at 98KPH when spinning at the old tire's 100KPH .
40 Profile: New rear tire is at 102KPH when spinning at the old tire's 100KPH .

also, what's everyones opinion in running 215/35/17 for the front and 245/35/17 for the rear? Just that way the speedo will pretty much be the same as standard.

That will work well, just depends what width front rims you get. I found with 8inch wide fronts with 215 the tyre had too much strech and caused a lot of tram lining. 7.5inch wides with a 215 work really well though.

+1 40 profile...
I checked mine with the GPS the other day and ACTUAL is ~97 km/h when INDICATED is 100 km/h, which is good since it's not reading under.

So the car is good to go, bar the coolant but the tuner/mechanic is going to have to finish bleeding that.

Might even give it its first wash in 3 year tomorrow too, if i get tie to do it
