Re: Are these tires going to be ok
Are they in good condition?
215/40/17's should be ok, thats what I run on my Zx3 (non-svt) but I do have the SVT EAP's and a 2" drop.

Re: Are these tires going to be ok
That tire size will work, but your wheels are slightly more susceptible to damage from potholes etc.

Re: Are these tires going to be ok
Also, your speedometer will be off by a few percent. The Speedo will SAY that you're going a little faster than you actually are.
