I went back to 235's because the Pirelli PZero Nero wasn't available in 245 for our cars in the proper size with reinforced sidewalls...

I didn't buy toyos again because I wanted to try a different tire for my east coast driving plus I got a hell of a deal on the pirellis... I will buy the toyos again once these pirellis need to be replaced though, they definitely don't have the same grip the toyos did, although they are still VERY nice tires...

If you got stock rims, the highest offical you should get is 225... But you can go as big as 235...

no way should you get 245 with stock rims...

Please check the search engine to narrow down the search (look for 225/45-17 and 235/45-17).

Head over to www.tirerack.com for "some" suggestions.

There's a 01/02 CL-S at a dealership by my house with 245/45/17's on stock wheels and it is definitely lowered. maybe if I get achance I'll look if it's still back there and snap a couple pics. Surprisingly the tire didnt look like it buldged too much at all, but the tires did look MUCH wider than the stockers.

some guys from some tire shot told me if you put 235/45/17 on a wheel that is 17 X 7, the tire will bulge out in the middle a little more since it only has 7" to play with.... is that true or will it work just fine? The other thing I noticed that 17 X 8 wheels normally cost $100 more than 17 X 7, is it really worth to move up to 17 X 8 or can I stay with 17 X 7 and get 235/45/17 on there with no probs?

You should be fine wit h235's. More than a couple people on here have put 235's on the stock wheels and said they looked fine. I have 235's on 17x7.5 wheels and there is no buldge at all, and I would be very surprised if 1/2" less would make a significant difference.

it hard to find wheels that are 17 x 7.5, it seems that most are 17 X 7, any ideas on what offset for 17 X 7 with 235s?
