Default Tire help

I need to replace the stock 17" tires and don't know which tires to go with. I was looking at the Kumho Ecsta ASX or the Kumbo Supra 712 but don't know which tire sizes of the supra would fit the 17" rim. Any recommendations?

Keeping the stock rims you could go with
245/45R17 Front and 255/45R17 Rear

Have you considered the Kuhmo Ecsta SPT, it does quite well in comparison to other tires in its class, especially in wet. I am running them now and quite surprised at how well they work.

Those are a little too wide for the stock wheels.

8 in the rear. The biggest that it should see is a 255/45R17.
