Widest tire size for 2003 titanium edition wheels
#9
235/50-17 is also close diameter to stock 225/50-17.
235/45-17 has more choices. Falken Ziex ZE-512 are popular but not sticky enough for me. Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 if you want something sportier. I like Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance stiff sidewall. Yokohama AVS ES100 are highly advertised and probably #3 popular affordable autox tire. Kumho ECSTA MX is #1 or #2 popular affordable autox tire.

OK, here is the best solution if you want a wide tire on the stock 17" rims.
Get the AVON M500 or 550AS tire in stock size.
These tires are WIDE, especially the M500. Get them from Tirerack. Stick to stock size. You'll be amazed by the performance, handling and price of these tires. Get them!

The section width (for example a 225 tire) refers to the the overall width of the tire which are the only published numbers. No tire maker publishes the size of the contact patch (including actual tread widths). In the case of the people going for the "widest" 225 tire, it's just for appearance. What's really important is that the contact patch areas of different tire brands will be pretty much the same for equaly sized tires (at the same inflation).
