will a 225/45 17 fit on a 07 ls without rubbing?

 

Yes it will

 

Yes. My winter tires are that size and I've run into no issues. Unless the wheel well of the LS is somehow smaller than mine, you should be fine.

 

it will fit on a ls also i'm running 235/40/18 on my car right now

 

thanks that will save me some cash
how about a 245? it is probably to big.

 

245 is to big. 215/45/17 is great on a 17x7 rim

 

biggest size on the site I believe is 235/35/20

you will fit just fine

 

actually you can fit a 245 on our cars. i did it before. i had 245/40/18. i had no rub with my 2.5 inch drop.

 

wow really! without wheel spacers now that's awesome to know I think my next set of tires will be 245's then. Did you notice any improvement over 225? that's what I am running right now but they are more a summer compound, so this time of year I don't drive fast.

 

Umm yeah i did that too works just fine no rub unless you throw a couple friends in it then you will rub all day as i experienced...

 

one day to late. i had 4 245 nitto tires at work i could of had.but i already bought some 225.
i better hide those 245 so nobody else gets them

 

ive run 235/30/20 and 225/35/20 before with just a SLIGHT triming of the black plastic in the fender well.
no rubbing.

so if you go to a tire calculator, based on the circumfrance and width of those wheels you should be able to run a 235.45.18 on our cars. the ss ones that is. the cars that come with 18" factory. idk bout the others


and the only time i had rubbing was with a person or two in bad seat and a big bump. otherwise, its not too bad

 

well the only bad thing was when i took sharp turns it would rub inside the fender wall. but other than that i had more tire on the ground so i didnt lost traction so much. i got some performance tires n they are great. and our cars look so sick with those wide of tires.

 

Seen this thread, slightly old but i didnt want to make a new one cuz my question is along the lines of this thread.

Im have MSR 18x8's and im running 235/40/18's nitto nt-05 with eibach sportlines and in the front its kosher but the rear when i hit big bumps goin like 50-60, the metal part of the rear fenders scrape the tire between where the tread starts and the sidewall. So im kinda worryin bout blowin one of the rears up cuz of this.

I bin considerin my options and was thinkin of running 225/40/18 nitto invos or 235/35/18 invos (they dont make nt05s in these sizes) or something like that that is smaller either width or heights wise only in the rear and keepin the nt05s in storage from the rear for when the fronts need a changin.

My question is, what would be the best thing to do? go smaller width or height? Any better suggestions? Thanks!
