philbe1 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 i'm looking into getting wheels that are 17x7.5 and the company suggests a tire size of 235/40ZR17 i know there are some wheel and tire experts out there. I checked the prices of the 235/40ZR17's and they are quite expensive. ranging from 120-175$ where i am. Now ZR's are racing tires and i don't really need racing style tires so is there any other size tires that would fit the 17 X 7.5 rim size and still fit on a 97 es300. NOTE: suspension and all that is stock, no changes done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbe1 Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I also have another question too. how wide of a tire can go on a 17 X 7.5 inch rim without sticking out of the sides of the car itself. My stock wheel size is 205/ 65 R15 would i need to get a tire that is 235/65 R17 or will a wider tire like the 235/40 R17 fit so that tire isnt sticking out on the outside of the car. Too much tire overhang is horrible looking i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
