Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires, 245/50 - 17

Hi All,

Would these fit my stock rims? I have a 01 CL-S.

I dont know if anyone around here or if its possible to place 245's on stock rim, but its been highly noted around here that 235's will work fine. Tho i have not tried that myself.

Kind of a goofy size, if you ask me. 245/50 will fit a 17X7 wheel but you'll exceed the recommended diameter increase limit of 3% Your speedo will also read slow. At 60 mph you'll actually be doing 63.

The popular choice is 235/45 and that's where I'm going with the A/S Sport Plus to replace my MXM4's. For the same price it's a far superior tire.
