Tire Opinions for xB

Looking for very mild stretch (if any), and basically looking for affirmation on size.

17x8 I plan on doing 205/40/17, and then on 17x9 doing 215/40/17. Im hoping they will be very close in stretch asthetically.

Ive heard bad things about the 452s, so Im looking for something thatll last and look good. (plus these are going to be daily driven) I want something as cheap as possible though being a poor college kid.

Thanks
Scotty

My bad on the misprint. Ripped two BELTS. I was in a rush and wrote it down wrong. Beads were completely fine.
