KDW2 sizing

Well I really wanted to put a set of KDW2's on my ride with the 17in stock rims... but I wanted to go with like a 255/55 or 50 but the KDW2s are not made in those... I think the KDW2s run in a 255/45-17 but what kinda ride difference will that make... will it look good on a non lowered car with 17in rims? anyone have any pictures with their car with this sizing?

The 255/45/17" tire you mentioned is 26.1 inches in diameter,1 inch smaller in diameter than your stock tire size.They'll throw your speedo off a bit and look tiny and will look even smaller if you lower the car.Try a set of Nitto 555's in your stock tire size,they'll hook and ride nice..And they won't look like munchkin tires.

the only real problem I have with the 555's is I hear they are really bad when it gets any bit cold outside... I live in Mississippi so the cold here is not like snow cold but it does get below freezing often in the winter... but I really really do not want all season tires because we get way way more warm weather than cold
