205/45-17
Has anyone driven on this dimension on their cup I:s, 7 " wide rims..?
I know it says 205-50 17 but....a bit thinner might look cool...

can you find any good tires in that dimension? Usually it is 215/45 as the next size after 205 and this will give you more or less the same roll diameter.

Plenty to choose from for a 7" wide rim (205/50)
Pirelli, Bridgestone, Continental and Michelin to name a few!
and these are Porsche recommended

I know if you say 205/50 but the question was size 205/45 which is an odd size. But I would also move up a bit to 215 or even 225.
