That's stupid there wrong. I ordered a set of 225/45/17's a few days ago and all of my friends and people on here agreed it would fit no problem. 235 will fit also although i think it makes it look a bit too bulky, 225 would be perfect. So answer to your question 225/45/17 will fit and so will 235/45/17 but i would do the 225 because they fit very well and comfortably.

nice tires. and i love how all the reviews are written by imports. lol

it must have taken the RSX about 10 minutes to hit the 130 he was claiming he was driving.
