Default SPF owners with 17" wheels

I am considering the purchase of some 17" full polished wheels from PSE.

What brand and size tires are you running?

Anyone have a set for sale?

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 275/ 40 ZR 17 Front and 335/ 35 ZR 17 Rear. The car rides and handles great. No rubbing at all. Great tire.

I also run the 275/40 17 front and 335/35 17 rear. If I remember right, the rear wheels are 11.5" wide and the fronts are 9.5" wide. Mine are PSE as well. No rubbing issues at all!!

I had the Michelin Pilot Sports in 275/40-17 and 335/35-17. Had an occasional rub on drivers rear inner wheel well, which many people clearance slightly to run the 335s. I recently switched to Kumho Ecsta XS in 275/40-17 and 315/35-17 (Kumho 335s were wider than the Michelin 335s at the contact patch and rubbed too much). The Kumhos have much better grip and are priced at about half what the Michelins go for.
