I need to know the biggest size tire that can go on 17x7 enkies. My celica is lowered 1.5 inches (correctly). I don't want to roll the fenders or anything or any scrubbing.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. FYI i'm on my phone and it is currently my only way of 6gc right now so please don't tell me to search because it wont pull anything up on my phone. I have tried many times. -Colby --------------------  |

QUOTE 225/45/17 on a 7" rim is a pretty thick tire for that rim and width. its a perfect tire for that rim width. its whats on the wifes car in the sig. great looks (looks track ready, instead of F&F ready) great handling great ride quality. no downsides at all IMO. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Manny - Don't you think it makes the car a lil higher since the overall diameter with tire is bigger than stock diameter? My 40 series tires look just like 45 series.
