17 x 7 with 235-45-17s ?

is anyone running 235-45-17s on their 17 x 7 wheels?


can you post up some pics from the front/back so i can see how they sit on a 4thgen?

im gettin General Exclaim UHPs but they dont make them in the 215-50-17 size.

i have to chose between 225-50-17 or 235-45-17.


thanks

My old 17x7's had 225/45-17 BFGs on them. Looks and performs alot better than my old 235/45-17 sumitomos. I already have pics of those, I just need to pull them from the camera. One of these days...

i found out that General does make an Exclaim UHP in 215-50-17, but tirerack's website was messed up and didnt show them as available.

I had Nitto nt555 235/45/17's on 17x7 Enkei RSV's on my old max, no i dont have pics. They didn't rub and I had no issues with them at all. I didn't have spacers on either, even though the company I bought them from said I would need a 20mm spacer

i would not run 235 on a 7inch wide wheel... for a better safer ride just run 225 45 or the 215s

I have 235/45/17's havent had any problems. Plus they give the wheels a wider track, no spacers, no rubbing either. I think because of this my ride is softer than the stock rims. When I had the stock wheels on my car I noticed that they gave the car a stiffer ride. So, for comfort and performance I cant beat it.

I have 235/50 17 on my 4th gen and they are freakin awesome. I just drove a 5.5gen with 225/50/17 and it pretty much road the exact same.
