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.

I have 235/40/17 on a 7" wide rim. Yes, before anyone says anything, its 10mm wider than recommended for that width rim. I decided to do it because the design of the tires i chose have extremely rounded edges and there are no rubbing issues. The tire does not bulge or anything weird. IF you're getting a tire that is not rounded on the edges dont get a 235, it will most likely rub depending on your wheel offset.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
