17" on a Putra? looks like you have to go for the 40 series tyre.

and using this kind of rims and 40 series tyre on Malaysian road , it's not a wise choice.

good luck.

DearFriend,

For Putra & 17' rim.... looks OK. My brother using now. He is driving PURTA. Lenso Concept-5 with ventures 40 series. Nampak penuh. Looks garang.....No need ketuk the fender. Find the lightest as possible for the rim weight.

If you people who always do drag, go for smaller lah. For street rembat... very nice. Connering... you will feel good & confident.
