largest tire on a 17" wheel
I have 4 205/40/17's on my XA with stock springs and struts.
I need new tires.
Whats the largest tire i can use?
I believe 215/45/17 are roughly the same overall size as the stock 185/60/15...
Can i go larger without rubbing? I'm looking for comfort and to fill the wheel well a bit (the 205/40/17 look kinda small)
what about a 205/55/17? or 215/60/17?
i dont know much about tires...?
Thanks

215/45/17 is larger than stock diameter
205/40/17 is undersized
for oem diameter 17's you want
205/45/17 OR 215/40/17
you should be able to easily run 215/45/17 if you aren't slammed
if you want comfort go with 16's theyre bigger than stock , have a decent selection and the tires are MUCH cheaper and will ride much better than any lo pro 17 will

Is there more clearance in the back...?
What are the complications if i put larger tires in the back.
see, i inherited the rims and tires from a friend. The fronts have maybe 5000 miles on them and in great shape but the backs are pretty bad.
I was gonna replace all four with the same 205/40/17 rather than just the two rears.
I have read that some people have bigger tires in the back?
Thanks
