Default Picture request.

So I just got my hands on a set of Volk Evolution III. I have and 18" wheels on my car since I have had it.

The Volks are 17"x8", and 17"x9". I would be putting 215 35 17 and 235 35 17 size tires on them. I am not sure if they are going to look too small.

Does anyone have an pics of their car with 17's and close to these tires sizes?

Much appreciated.

I took some pictures of them and I know they dont have tires on them and all that but im not sure if I like them.

You'd want something more like 235/40 fronts, 255/40 rear.

The profile is wrong on them as well as being too skinny. Especially the 235 for the rear.
I have 225/45 front and 255/40 rear on 17x9's all around. Front is stretched a little bit but rear is perfect.

Don't know if it matters to you but 235/35 has an overall diameter of about 23.47" while a 245/40 has an o.d. of 24.72". That's a difference of over an inch in height when you put the two side by side. Maybe try 235/40? That has an o.d. of 24.4". But if it were me I'd go for 245/40 for the rears. What are your offsets?
