235/55/17?
Does any 1 knows how the car will look and handel on the road with 235/55/17 tire size? 235/45/17 is kind a bumpy for me and it looks bad on a stock car.

55s will rub on your fender. stick with the 225/50. if you're gonna go wide, you can fit the more expensive 235/50 tires.

Look wierd and handle worse. (IMO)

The sidewall will be pretty tall, and hurt performance.

The speedo will be off by a bit (5%)

If looks and performance are an issue, lower it and get 235/45-17's

That's your opinion, and the other was mine.
