I've talker to someone(who might be joining my Va club) and he has 235's, they just barely fit. I would go with 225's on 8in wide rims, gives you largest patch, best fit, and stiffer sidewalls for the corners.

Well, I am getting spacers made up so that I can get my 8.5"X17" tires with 245/45/ZR17 3000GT VR-4 rims. They will just barely fit, but they will fit. What was that you said about 225s being wide as hell? emoji

Dude, Boeing called. They want their wing back.

Me: Can I put that in my sig?
Dark0ne95: GO right fucking ahead.

I have some mim venezia wheels in 17x7.5 w/ 235/45hr17 yokohama avid h4 tires. They fit great, and have never rubbed. I haven't even had to roll my fender lips like I have heard a lot of people do. justin
