Im planning on getting Goodyear Assurance Tripletred soon and i wanted to get a bigger size tire to close the gap space. Kinda going for the "lower" look in the car. But what is a possible larger size without causing any trouble to the ride of the car. I was thinking 235/55/17 would be an ok increase? or 225/55/17? Thanks
225/50 R17 will be almost exact height and the extra width will make up for the sidewall you loose. Close the gap by lowering with a professional progressive spring kit. progressive springs will maintain OEM ride integrity until sport driving. Goodyears look great but they don't last for long. Michelin will wear much better. I've heard that changing the overall diameter can also interfere with ABS systems.
