Quoted you :P

70 height would be way too much, you should go more of a 215/40.

oh, and LOWER YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

215's. 45's or 40's would both be within safe limits. I'd really recommend getting a different set of wheels; those aren't going to fit that well. Too sunken.

Here's an idea... Sell those wheels to someone who drives a Honda and you go buy something wider...

if you must put them on your car... go with a 205/40 and spacers.. but the 205 want really be a stretch on a 7.5 rim. 215s will be ballons and make the rims look like 16's
