Just had my shop put on new tires. They are a performance shop and along with repairing and maintaining Porsches and other fine cars they build race cars.

I had 205/50/17 & 255/40/17 on the car before and they put 225/50/17 and 255/40/17 on this time.

I had been researching alternate fitments and saw that 225/45/17 was a popular alternative for the front.

Are 225/50/17 ok on the front or will this cause any issues?

Thanks for any help and please excuse if it’s a dumb question.
