#1
i know people have posted that this is bad and dangerous.
i just wanted to know the reasons why. i don't really mind a bulging tire, but i don't want to do it if its dangerous.
appreciate any feedback

Just so you don't have to trudge your way through the thread again, check out:

I talked with 2 tire shops and 235 45 17 will not be covered if used on rim that isn't specifically wide enough for the tire.
For instance, almost ALL 235 45 17 requires 17x7.5.
But the Nitto 235 45 17 will fit on 17x7 rims.
Buying a Nitto should be safe because they actually stated that it fits 17x7 rims.

Hope this helps.
