I'm wondering if a 225/50R17 will fit in the stock wells without rubbing. I want to put more tire to the road.
Yes I know they will be taller, but it's only about a 3% difference from stock (about 2.5mph diff at 80mph) so I'm not concerned about speedo error.
The other option that might be too wide, is a 235/45R17 (about 1% difference in height).
I actually like the idea of a taller tire anyways for
1) More rim protection from potholes
2) "Lowered look" by filling the wheel wells, but without losing ground clearance.
Please let me know if you have successfully tried a larger width and height on stock rims. Thanks.
