...and got lost in the sauce. Just bought a set of ADR 17X7 rims. Yea, I know 18" would have been better but we got pot holes all over the place in the north east. Problem is tire rack suggest 235/45-17. ADR says the best tire is 225/45-17. I'd like to stay with the wider tire if it would be safe. What are you 17X7 rim guys running?

 

235-45 would be best

 

it doesnt really matter. but the wider the better as long as you stay in a reasonable width

 

with a 7 in wide rim i would get 225's, just so that the tires dont bulge out past the rim too much...

 

wheel/tire forum, next time.

 

it'll take weeks to get any responses...ive posted in there and never got anything back ..... yeah 235 is your best bet...also can you show us pics of the rims PLEASE?? ... maybe if you have a pic of them on the car or just the rims themselves .. thanks!

 

235's on 7" rims are gonna be sticking out alot....
I would go with some 225's and get some stickier tires.....

 

Did you really search? I know I've answered this question personally probably 15 times.

 

i just searched and found several helpful threads regarding tire sizes...

 

I'm running 235/45 on my 17x7. The tires are a tad wider than the wheels. I'm switching to 17x8's soon, and I will continue to run 235/45 tires.

 

just to put this into prespective.. its only a 10mm difference.. which amounts to what? probably less than 1/4 inch... i have 235's on mine.. its fits perfect
