You can use 225-45-17 as well, to help cure rubbing problems, but your speedo will be a little off.

I had stock springs. YMMV.

There are multiple threads on this forum with what appears to be conflicting info.
On another thread, another owner indicated and posted pics to show that 3G TL rims with 235/45-17 tires will fit with no problems. He has stock suspension setup.

So to help the fellow owners in this direction, how about the folks in the know help out here.
If using 3G TL rims (17 inch, 8JJ width, 45mm offset), what tires will fit, and what potential issues there might be? Stock vs lowered?
- 215/50-17 (same as stock CL-S) No speedo issues. But 8JJ width is wider then recommended for this tire size by most mfg.
- 225/45-17 (speedo issues?)
- 235/45-17 (no speedo issues but rubbing?)
Please chime in and help clarify the issues here.
Thanks.

Honestly, if I had to do it again, I'd go with 225/35/17s just so I wouldn't rub. The only time I do if there is a bump in the road from constructions thats about 4 to 5 inches in height.

i'm running 235 45 17 on the tl rims and am lowered on tien ss with about 2 finger gap. no rubbing problems at all. occasionally i get minor rub on big bumps but i think that would be fixed if i stiffened the shocks (i have them set really low)
also no real problems with the speedo
