i know everyone is tired of this question, but i couldn't find an answer by searching.
will 235/45r17 tires fit a ti without mods? the rims i'll are 17x8 with 45mm offset if thats something that needs to be taken into consideration.
thanks,

If you are planning to keep it stock height, you should be ok. And I'm speaking from experience on this subject. | | | | | 04-01-2010, 04:49 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Maryland Posts: 265 |

Im running 245/40R17 in the rear on H&R Race springs, with no fender work and no rubbing, even at full stuff. Rims are 17x8 45mm offset.(style 68s)
I dont see why you will have issues. | | | | | 04-06-2010, 02:49 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
My 235/40/17s rub slightly on the front inner liners when I go lock to lock.
