I want to know what's the largest tire size that I can go to, without rubbing or bottoming, under the following conditions:
- 7x17 Rims; - 1.6" drop front and rear. I previously run Hankook Ventus 205x40x17's (dia. 596mm/23.46"). (Original tire size was 195x65x14 (dia. 609mm/23.98")). I'm more interested in increasing the profile. I'm looking at: - 205x45x17 (dia. +6mm/0.28") - 215x45x17 (dia. +16mm/0.64") - 225x45x17 (dia. +25mm/0.99"). So, ultimately the question is: Can I go to 225 on a 7" rim with a 45 profile w/o rubbing? |
