What tires fit on stock rims?
Hey guys,
Just wondering what size tires fits on stock rims. According to tire rack 225/45-18 would fit, are they correct??? I am looking for Bridgestone Pole Position S-03's. Please help!!!

Sure 225/55-17 would fit on the stock TL-s wheel but it's more than 1" taller than stock so that wouldn't be a good choice. Closer replacement sizes would be 225/45-17 or 235/45-17 (ideal). Unfortunately neither will fit on the TL-s 6.5" wheel, that is according to the tire manufacturers. So, if you're going to play by the rules, you ain't got much options other than going with a wider wheel to accommodate the wider tires.

I got 225/45/17 tires for my stock rims from tirerack. Oh, before processing the order, the guy from tirerack called saying that they are the wrong size for my stock rims, but I told him to send those size tires to me anyway.

thanks for all your help i think i may go with the 225/45-17. will they look weird on a unlowered TL-S. will the gap between the tires and the body of the car be too big?
