Just bought some '04 17s with 225/55/17 Continental tires on em from ebay and now I can't find any websites that list 225/55 as a possible fit. They are all saying 225/45......Is this going to be a problem?? Anyone experienced with this?

 

uh no it wont be a problem, bc the tires are already on the rims

 

I think he meant a problem fitting them on the car...
and
the only difference in a 45 and 55 is just a little bit of width. The 225/45 is going to be a tad wider than the 225/55... Either should work on the car and the wheels. I assume the 2004s still have a 114.3 or 5-4.5 bolt pattern although I haven't really inquired to that fact. As long as they do you should be fine.

 

and if u need new tires, i suggest the followin 2 sites:

1. The Tire Rack.
2. Discount Tire Co.

 

actually the sidewall would be higher, it wouldnt be wider, necisarrily if they are properly maintained with the proper psi

 

Your speedo will be slightly off. It's going to read slightly slower then your actually traveling, maybe 3 -4 MPH off at 60.
