On my MCS I have 17" wheels and I am looking at putting Proxes T1S's on and I don't know which will fit the best. I am looking at two sizes: 205/40ZR17 and 215/45ZR17, which will fit best on stock rims and the Exel TZ-10 with an offset of 42mm. The car is not lowered. Thanks for your help.

I would agree with D. When you can try to get the same size as stock, 205/45-17 but depending on which tire it is not always possible.
I'm using 215/45-17 and that is what I would recommend of the choices above.

Jason,
I got the Tenzo's at a speed shop here on LI.
They were approx.... $180 each./installed.
No problems at all w/ em and they hold up well w/ the NY potholes...etc
Peace,

You may want to check on what sizes are available in the T1S. I'm running the Proxes T1S in 215/40-17 on the SSR Comp 17 x 7.5 rim.
No fitment problems at all, and it's a great tire. I have them on 3 of my cars and love 'em.
