zozobear330@comcast.net Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I just bought a new ES350 with stock 215x55 tires. When they wear out I'd like to go to a wider size and, possibly, a deeper sidewall--say 60 series. I'd like to stay with 17 inch wheels. Does anyone know how much wider and deeper I could go? Thanks.

Scott I'm curious as to why you would want to make this type of tire change? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Taller the sidewall, the more the tire absorbs. Doesn't make since with a width increase, as the taller the sidewall, the less grip, and more prone 2 rolling over. You're also going to throw the accuracy of the ECU off. (You're trying to cheat afew miles off the re-le when ya sell it lmao!) AFA width. Measure the actual width of the rim & get back to us 'cause dude the car's been out since late april - nobody knooooows LoL!

camlex Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 When Toyota Engineers choose those tires, I am sure they have reason. Why you wants to change? Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
