Tire Size Question...

MattD04SRT4 · Post by **MattD04SRT4** » Thu May 03, 2007 1:26 pm

Will a 225/45/17 tire fit a 04 SRT4? My wheels are 17X7.5. I can get a nice set pretty cheap, but it wont do me any good if they wont fit. Thanks

The SRT I'm about to buy is running 225/45's

I drove it and nothing appeared to be wrong, so yes... yes you can.

Correction my wheels are only 7 inches, not 7.5 Will this still fit fine? I don't do alot of hard driving in it, usually my wife has it anyway.

I have no idea, since it's not my car -yet-

it's just what's on the car i may be buying

**EDIT** after quickly looking them up, they're 17x7

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for the input. I figured they would be fine as long as I don't try and corner too hard and all that fun stuff. Thanks again.

to be completely sure, if you go to www.tirerack.com and look up the tire you are interested in, or any 225/45/17 tire. it will tell you what size wheel that tire is supposed to use for safety

it shouldnt matter how hard you make a turn.

i just went to tire rack and looked up a 225/45/17 tire, and it says that that tire is supposed to be on a 7" - 8.5" wheel, so i would say you are good.

I would just buy 225/40/17's or 215/45/17's but I am getting a great deal on these from my brother. He only used them for about 600 miles and sold his car, but took off his extra wheels. So I will be getting these for about 50 bucks for all 4. I had heard of some problems with lowered car rubbing in the turns with this wide of a tire with this side wall. I think it will be fine and I cant pass up this deal.

Yes they will fit

that is the most common size the srt guys move up to with any wheel other then the stock crap.
