Is there a reason for this? Are these not recommended, and if not, why?
The wiki mentions the following:
215/40/17 - Larger Contact Patch, Recommended 17” Size Tire
215/45/17 - Larger Contact Patch, Overall Diameter is Larger
225/40/17 - Even Larger Contact Patch, Very Limited Selection of Brands
What would be the benefits/drawbacks if i tried to use 225/45/17?
I will be running 8J wheels

Its just that 225/45/17 seem to be much more readily available and i am after a used bargain so i can get the wheels on for the Scottish meet

Thank you kindly
