Largest Tire on a IS300 17" wheel?
Hi everyone,
What is the largest tire that will fit on a stock 17" IS wheel?
Can you put a 235/45/17 on? if not what is the largest that will go on?
Thanks
Theo

i will not put anything wider than 225 on stock 17x7 rims, if you put too wide tires on a narrow rim, it just mess up the handling (sidewall too flex)

definitely agree to what everyone said above me
so if putting a 225 on a 9 inch rim is called stretching
what would a 245 on a 7 inch rim be called?
