DrZaius7 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I need to replace my tires this spring, I have the 17" factory wheels with 235/45's and I want to plus size them. I called Tirerack and they said that I would be maxed out going with 245's all the way around. They also said that if I had wheels that were 9" wide I could go with 235's on the front and 265's on the back. Has anyone done this? I saw on another website that I could plus size all the way to 255's with my current wheels but tirerack said they wouldn't recommend that. Has anyone gone with a tire as wide at 265 on the rear with the front's offset? Also, what is the widest tire you have put on the factory 17's? Thanks DrZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ0054 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Don't mess with offset on the front. Doing so will screw up the alignment and cause the car to tramline and wear tires like crazy! Rear shouldn't be a problem except changing offset puts additional strain on the wheel bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
