Tire size question

[arno]

I have an 05 LSE and its time for new tires. How big can I go on the stock 17rims? How wide are the stock rims?

Thanks

255/45/17

No rubbing issues with that size? What is the stock rim width?

 

[Garbone]

7 1/2" wide.

So I can do a 255 on a 7 1/2 in rim? Seems like they might hang over too much?

On all of the tire comparison web sites, "they" say the minimum wheel size for the 255/45-17's, is 8" wide. So, maybe a little research before purchasing? I will bet there is a tire place that will mount them though....

I run 255/45 on my 17's. This is my third LS since 2000 when they first came out. I ran 255/45 on each one of them w/ no problems. trust me.

I trust you, I just havent been there yet.
BTW, what brand, and style tire do you like best on your LS?

 

[02V8Sport]

best I used yet are Kuhmo Ectsa ASX, they last long and are pretty good for performance and price.

BTW again, Are those 255's on the black LS in your pic. gallery?

Thanks for the feedback 02V8Sport, I think that will be my size as well. I am in St Charles, where did you buy from?
