Default Will the tires fit?

I am not sure where to put this thread. Hopefully it is fine here.

I'm the proud new owner of a '14 350F and it' s a fun vehicle, except in Wisconsin around this time of year. I need snow tires. Will 235/55/17 tires on all 4 corners work? I know they are larger than the stock, but I'm wondering if they will rub/fit. Any insight? Thanks!

Welcome to CL! I hope you enjoy your new 3is!

If your 3is is F sport model, then I guess your tire should at least be 18 not 17 right? I am not so sure if 235/55/17 will fit the 4 corners. at it it gotta be something like XXX/XX/18

By the way where are you located in WI, I am in green bay area.

I am in the Milwaukee area. It has 18" wheels on it and it is RWD (hence the large amount of trouble).

225/45/17 would fit. It depend on the wheel you get also, you need the correct offsett.

Ok. I appreciate the feedback on the 225/45/17.

I know very little about offsets so I'll have to research that a bit.
