I am not a tire expert but 17" w/ 235-45's?? Isn't that a bit wide for the tire height? I have 14" with 225-60's and when my shocks were shot I would bottom-out on hard bumps and rub. So I know the clearance isn't that tremendous. I could be totally wrong but a 235 seems too wide to me. I understand the plus-sizing effect of 14"-60,15"-60,16"-50, etc., but a 235, even with a 45 series tire, is going to be darn wide up top of the well. I could be totally wrong, but that seemed pretty big too me. Somebody have that on their car??
No offense to Fostang....
