Default Low Profile Tires

Can anyone recommend a set(4) of low profile tires that would fit 17" chrome american racing wheels(they are rebels)

i dont know if "low profile" is the correct term, but i want wide tires and tires that are smaller around the wheels... i dont want to spend a fortune keep in mind

I can't recommend tires, but you will need to recalibrate your speedometer due to total wheel diameter decreasing.

i had 17's with 245/45's (45 being the percentage of the width that is the side wall)and they were pretty low profile... look at the pic

Now u could go with 245/35 but the ride would suffer and the over all hieght of rim + tire would be much smaller than the stock ones.
