ur the man but the magic question is i currently have 235/45-17 on 17x7 rim and will be going 245/45-17. will this be too wide? and a mpg decrease? also wont it roll like a SOB when goin through turns?
thanks

 

Tirerack.com says that you can find the tire size in inches if you take 225mm/25.4=8.86"
So 245mm/25.4=9.65"
But I find it to be a bit off because I got 235 for my 17x8 and they were absolutely flush with my rim.
I still wouldn't recommend fitting 245/45/17 on 17x7 though.

 

235 is as wide as you should go.

 

yea im gonna go wiith 235 kumho ecsta asx and suffer from not getting extreme contacts

 

Those blow nuts in the snow. I would keep that in mind if you do a lot of snow driving.

 

Yeah - bad idea for cold and snow on those Ecstas.....

 

I got the extreme contacts 215/50-17 on stock wheels.
