Not a big fan of a wheel tucked inside the fender - prerfer an even space all around.
Back to the tire sizes - I went on a little trip tonight - according to my GPS, my speedo is off by 2-3mph when I go 80mph, which is a lot, so it looks like getting 215/45/17 will make the speedo dead on after all. Never tried GPS with stock tires, but I'd guess that it's off by about 1mph (showing 60, actually going 61).
I'm not going to do anything about it - love the fact that RPMs stay way lower on the higway than they did in my tC. Got about 30-31mpg going 80mph, then rerfueled and finished my trip going 65-70 and got 35mpg. Kickass.
