#31992, "RE: how wide can my tires be on stock Eclipse rims...." In response to In response to 0
Originally posted by kevox So it is my understanding that a wider tire (I currently have 215/50/17 and would like to go to 235/45/17) will give increased handling and since I will be needing new tires here (but can't afford new rims at the same time...) I am hoping I can increase tire width a bit...I have the stock Eclipse rims from the 3g Eclipse's and I'm wondering if they will support 235/50/17 or not? Maybe I'm missing something; if so, please educate me! thanks
That was the first link that came up on google. It is not that hard. Using a rule of thumb that you can go two sizes bigger is not always accurate or a good idea either. Just because you can does not mean you should.
