Max tire size for 17' rim on S70 T5? S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Pat on  Fri May 31 15:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I found a set of seven-spoke T5R 17" rims for my S70. They came with 215/40/17 tires, but they just don't look right on the car. When I lined up the old 205/50/16 with the new wheels, there is an inch or so difference in height (17" being smaller).

How large a tire can I run without rubbing? Will a 225/50 or so fit?

Thanks,
Pat
