Exclamation Two tire size choices

For OEM 17s.

225/55/17 or 235/50/17.

Can you tell me the pros and cons of these two sizes?

My reason for this is. The OEM 225/50/17 look a bit small. The 235/50 would make it look a bit meaty. However, there is the wheel gap. 225/55 would be taller, so therefore fill up the gap better.

And don't want to lower it or get bigger 18" wheels.

well thinning out tires on a tiny wheel might just make them even tinier than they already are


50s will just make the gap look gappier

if your are not willing to do anything else then just leave it stock.

Might i suggest though, an option?

Eibach springs (1/1) for like ($175) and rear/front spacers (15mm ichiba ver2) ($200) will make the stock tsx look mean on the dime.

dunno if you can save by skipping tires but i think the stockies look good, they just need a slight drop and to be pushed out
