Correct Profiles For 17" Rims

[insu]

Forgive my ignorance, and i'm sure this has been covered, in fact i've run a few searches and couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

Basically I own an R33 GTS-T with R34 GT-T rims on it. The current tyres are: 225 45 17's, both front and back.

My question relates to the fact that I have noticed that the profiles on the stock rims (16"s) for skylines seem to be different front and back.

Can anyone tell me the correct profile tyres I should get for my GT-T rims on my R33 when I get new tyres?

How badly will it/does it affect the car when they're the same like mine currently are?

Thanks for any info

Oh and one more quick question I forgot to ask, this may seem stupid, but are the 17" GT-T rims the same width on all 4 as standard? Or are the rears wider? Thanks again.

The standard front and rear tyres and wheels are the same on R33GTST's ie; 16 X 7

The standard front and rear tyres and wheels are the same on R3GTT's ie; 17 X 7

The standard tyre on R33GTST's is either 205/55/16 or 225/50/16 (depending on Model)

The standard tyre on R34GTT's is either 205/50/17 or 225/45/17 (depending on Model)

Take look at the tyre chart on the inner door panel of your car to confirm
