As i understand it, we have 17x7 on the type s, correct? not 7.5s right?

what's the biggest tires you guys are running on them?

anyone have 235/45s or 245/45s without any major problems.

i have 4 245s that are pretty decent to put on, but they call for min 7.5" rim. I know they'll squeeze onto a 7" but don't want to change them if i'll have problems with them.

thanks for any help.

yah cls rim is 17 X 7 only and i will say 225 is biggest size of tyre i will put on..for safety reason...

 

a fellow member i know has 235 toyo proxies on the stock rims and they are fine, they look good and they fit fine.

 

See my Sig. Handles very well. No problem thus far. Has had them on for ~ 5000 miles.

 

What he said 235s are the most you can put on 7s.

 

Aztecrol has 235-45s on his stock rims and we just ran the crap out of the cars this weekend with no problems, and he's had them on for awhile now.

 

i'm thinking about 235/40-17. anyone have these on stock wheels?

 

I've got 245/45 on stock cl-s rims. It's perfectly fine with nO rubbing whatsoever. I'll post pics soon.

 

coo, then i'm sure the 235/40's will work. thanks langjae, post those pics soon. do they bulge out much? rim protector? i'm prolly getting the kumho 712's. $506 installed.

 

OH YEAH!!!!!!! TWISTY HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They will fit fine and I have NO rubbing!!!! I am lowered on Neuspeed Sports too!!!!

 

I have 235-40-17s on my stock rims and they kick ass

 

If I were you, I'd check the tire manufacturers recommendations.
Course, I'm not you.. YMMV

 

Aztec, I miss the TITS in your avatar!

 

So do I!!! So do I!!!

 

Same here 235-45's on stock rims no problems.

 

The FAQs say 235/40/17 with 99.5MPH read at 100mph.

 

235-40 is way off.... 4.2% too fast.
235-45 is 0.5% too fast

eh? which of these are correct, i have wondered

 

25.3" for 235/45
24.4 for 235/40
25.46" for 215/50
25.68" for 245/45

what i was worried about was width and rubbing though.

may try the 245s on them after all.
