If I upgrade to a 17 x 7 wheel for my 2000 TL, what size tire do I need to look at to stay with the same diameter as the stock 16 x 6.5?

225/45/17 will be good.
215/50/17 will be good as well.

Thanks. I think I have finally figured out the numbers. If I figured correctly, the 225/45/17 is going to be around 3/4" shorter than the OEM and the 215/50/17 will be only about 7/32 shorter. If I go with a 225/50/17, that would be around 3/16 taller. How much difference can there be without affecting the speedometer? And do my figures sound correct. Again, thanks for the help.

215/50/17 or 235/45/17 are the closest you can get

i recommend 215/50/17 because it has more than enough grip on our car with that setup and best fuel economy

that's what i have with my 17x7 wheel

The Falken ZE-512 in 215/50/17 is the one I am looking at with packages from tires.com. Thanks for the help.

yokohama Avid V4S is gd too, you should look them out if you want more mileage on the tires

if you want more performance on the all season, Falken ZE-512 or Sumitomo HTR+ is way to go
