I got TL-S with stock rims.
And it's time to change tires. I can't find stock size tire.
How 235/50 size is going to be? is it fine ?

They'll be too tall. Probably look like a 4x4.

Stock size is 235/45-17, but they were slightly oversized on the TL-S at (iirc) 25.6 inches diameter. Many 245/45-17 are close to that and most 235/45-17 are slightly smaller.

Point is, check the actual diameters.

But those are the two closest OE replacement sizes 235/45 and 245/45. Another alternative is 255/40-17.

I'm not interested, how it's going to look from outside. 4x4.
Will they fit ? Can I turn wheels without problems??

Yes, they'll fit. It will look stupid and your speedo will under-read somewhat. Good luck with that!

Why can't you find the stock size?

I live in Kazakhstan)) it's really hard to find tires of this size..
Also, roads in my country are not best quality, so I hope that these tires will be softer...

Bearcat94

Ahhh. Well then good luck.

Some one posted the 235/50-17 will fit. And I've listed the other alternate sizes that might help.

Hey guys..
Today I installed my new tires. 235/50/R17 Michlean.. The driving became more comfortable.. because, these tires are taller.

I'm bumping this 10 year old thread.

What about a 3G TL that is not a Type S? Will the 235/50R17 work on the base model wheel that was designed for 235/45R17? I am also sick of feeling every single tiny jolt in the road so a bit more padding would be nice.
