faiello Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I just purchased a set of 2006 17" GS 10 spoke chrome rims through ebay from OEMRIMS for my 2004 GS300. I was wondering what size tires I should get 225/50-17 standard size for 2006 or 235/45-17 standard size for 2004. The original 16" tires on my car were 225/55-16. 225/55-16=25.74 outside dia. 80.82 circ. 225/50-17=25.86 outside dia. 81.20 circ. 235/45-17=25.33 outside dia. 79.52 circ. The math says go with the 225/50-17. Does this make sense? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXU...emZ80 28960624 __________________ 04 GS300 Blk/Blk/Nav/ML/HID/Rear Spoiler Phython Remote Starter/35% Tint /Clear Bra 85 MB 380SL Diamond Blue/Navy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably go with the 235/45-17 because it is a more common size and my tire dealer will need to order the 225/50-17's. How much will this effect my speedometer and odometer?
