Just picked up Potenza RE-01R 255/40/17
I just picked up a set of Potenza RE-01R at 255/40/17. I've noticed a number of you have went up to 255/40/17 and have had positive results. However, I did not see if any of you went with this particular model of tire. Has anyone used this setup in the past? I currently have a 2007 TL-S with the stock TL-S rims (17x8). Are there any problems with putting this tire on? They just look so much wider that it doesn't look as if it would fit.

As long as your TL is not extremely lowered (slammed), the 255/40 will fit EASILY !!!! (with room to spare) ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Why you should get 255/40-17 tires for your OEM rims !!! (click here)
They said It couldn't be done (click here)

Had them installed yesterday and oh my lord they grip so much better. Unfortunately, my alignment is off and what wasn't noticeable on my old stock tires is much noticeable with these sticky and wider tires.
