what tire size?

225/55/17 or 215/55/17? not a big difference but ive been to two different tire shops and they both tell me to install the 215's. i know that the recommended tire is the 225 but what do you guys have on yours? by the way i was looking at some BF Goodrich g-Force Sport nothing fancy but trying to stay in a budget.

If 225 came with the car and are OEM then I dont see any issue, the manufacturer said 225 is good why are the shops is saying no? I think you will be fine with 225. Good luck

225/55/17 is reccomended but a 235/50 will make it look a lot better.

OP: 215/55/17 and 225/55/17 are about 1.5" different in diameter. 225/50/17 is closer to 215/55/17

Yeah, 20-22 inch rims fit on 6th gens. Some people go beyond that but it'll look stupid IMO

Just look at some of the earlier posts for the measurements to see if the ones your getting are gonna fit. You could go with something like 245 or 255/40/20

Some rims already come with the rims in the back already wider. So, just look over the dimensions of what your thinking of getting.
