Tire ?

Recommended Posts

So i will be upgrading to a 17" rim in the spring. Right now i have 16's with a 225/50/16 tire. How wide can i go on the 17'' rim? 245/45/17 is what i was thinking. Any ideas?

Sorry they are 17x7

Edit- I have been doing some research on widths.

It looks like a 225 tire is 8.8 inches wide. 235 is 9.2 inches and 245 is 9.6. Can i go up to a 235?

Ya, what they said.

 

The previous owner of the GP put on 245/50 and those tires bulge badly, just trying to fit into that narrow of a wheel.

 

It sucks too because the car rides like a pogo stick.

waht would you guys say would be the widest tire you could fit on an 8" rim?

 

255. at that point i'd check for tire to inner wheel well clearance when thay are turned all the way.
