Hi,

I have stock MXM4's on Type S wheels that need to be replaced. A cousin of mine has a set of Energy MXV4's in 215/55R17 which has a couple thousand miles on them and is selling his car so I was thinking of taking them from him.

Will I have problems with these tires on the TL/rims?

Are there any pics of Type S rims with this size tire on them?

Thanks

Depending on the price. The speedo will be slightly off due to the larger tire.

They'll fit, but you're handling will also suffer a little. The higher sidewall will squirm a little more.

Most people were trying to go for a sidewall with a lower profile tire, not sure if you'll find any pics of the size you are considering.
