235/55/17 ok?

[1poin8t]

Can I fit 225/55/17 Rubber? (OE offset)

Tire Rack recomends 225/55/17 but for some reason 235/55/17 tires are cheaper. But if you go to a 18'' wheel, tirerack recomends 235's


Anyone?

On what year?

It's a year 2000 LX.

What is the rim width, 7.5? I think 235 would be pushing it a little bit, I had 225s on my old 17s and used to rub on sharp turns with my 3 inch drop.

You should be fine. I'm wearing 235/60/16 on my 1st gen.

The 235/55/17 you propose is slitely larger by 0.07 inches outside diameter.

Problem is. I have mine lifted and stiffer springs.

BEFORE: with 225/65/16 with shot springs and shocks I was rubbing slightly at the back when I had 5 people in it and going over a bump.
