Just wondering if these tyres will be be fine on a caldina gt-t?

I have a set of 17 inch mags and are wondering if these will be the right profile.

I know they are the right size but not sure about profile. ( could be to low?)

Anyone else running this fittment?

Cheers,

BC

Whats the standard tyre size? Wouldve thought Caldinas being a medium sized car would be suited more to something like 215/45/17 or 205/45/17

they are the right stud pattern (5x100) no reason why you couldnt use the tires other than comfort really.
