hikerfisher Posted Thursday at 04:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:02 PM Hi folks. Newbie here- picking up my 2003 470 in a week, and needing new tires. I've done a search for this issue but not found specific input to this. The 470 is coming with the stock 18 inch rims, and I find that the recommended tire size of 275/60 18 is not widely available. My question is- what other tire sizes would fit my stock rims, without requiring any modifications to my 470? Thanks for any insights.

RX400h Posted Friday at 01:26 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:26 AM According to tirerack.com, the alternate size for your vehicle is 285/60/18. See: Tire Search Results (tirerack.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerfisher Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:55 AM Thanks Dave. I don't know how I missed that on the Tire Rack site. Lot more choices in that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted Friday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:20 PM Yes, I did see that the OEM size had few options. The 285 size is 0.46-inch larger in diameter, which may mean that your speedometer readings will be a small bit lower that actual speed.
