215/45/R17 is the best you can go because if you put 215/50/R17 in front, it'll probably hit the fenders (especially if your car is lowered).what if rear tyre profile higher than front tyre?, different tyre profile

If you're having it in the rear, that's fine but it'll definitely look weird and forget about tyre rotation

QUOTE(zaidi @ Mar 19 2009, 01:59 AM) I don't think TS is thinking on rotating any longer. My previous Waja was with 16" rims, ES100 and HWL adjustables, no problems at all and handling improved even more for me waja handling is best with standard configuration. once you play around with tyres and suspensions the handling will mess-up and you'll have uneven wear of the tyres too. why thinking of comfort for the rear passenger when you are using 17"? I don't think using different tyre profile brings much improvement, and don't forget the not-so-easy setup of it.  |

Yes, in cars with DSC, ABS, etc it is important to maintain the diameter of the wheels to stock as close as possible.
