As the subject says. I'd like to get a little taller/wider tire. 235-50-17 calculates out to be 26.25" diameter. Thanks,

I believe 26.2 it about the tallest you can go until you hit the bottom of the spring perch.
No way that would fit on mine. I have the stock size tires, 215/55-16. They are about 24.25 tall and at most I could squeeze a tire that was about 26 tall. Maybe not even that much.

 

Tires vary in size, best to throw one on there and see

 

Thanks. I saw someone was running 215/55/17 (26.31" diam) in a tire that has a narrow tread pattern so I'm hoping the 235/50/17 (26.25" diam) would work. I think you're right. I may just have to try one.

 

Well if you do try them post on here if they worked or didn't.

 

Of course try fitting one on the front. If it fits, drop it on the ground, bounce it a couple times & then check the tread to strut plate clearance.

Hanging on the rack or jack is not accurate..

 

I was rolling on 235/50/R/17 on a 8.0 x 17 wheel with lowering springs, and am currently selling the wheels and tires. I had them on my 07 HHR. Now running 18"
