I have to get new tires today and I wanted to know what is the largest possible size we can get? I have 17 inch rims. I always thought that the largest is 225 45 17. Please help me out with this guys. I am leaving in about an hour to pick up some new tires.

QUOTE (Lil-Joe101 @ Nov 10, 2008 - 7:45 AM)  Word to the wise. This is not wise- 235/45R18. I tried it and it was doing two things. Rubbing my inner wheel wells and the the finder and rear quater panel. Best bet, stick with 17s. 18s were not your problem. incorrect tire sizing was.. 225/40/18 would have been fine. I had that on all 4 corners + I was lowered on coilovers over 2" and i never rubbed
