Largest tire for stock EVO wheel?

What is the largest tire that can be mounted on the stock EVO wheel… eg.. 255/40/17 - with the stock suspension w/out having to roll the rear fenders.



Anyone ??????????.

your not going to have to roll the fenders with stock suspension and a 255 40 17. That's what I'm running with a 8.5inch wheel and a +30mm offset

I thought you could only go 245 on the stock wheels?? but I guess maybe if you drop to 40 instead of 45 it might still be ok

Why did you bump a 5 year old thread? The MR uses the same size wheels, the same suspension heights...

Topic that has been beaten to death.

Tires that fit:

225/45/17
235/45/17
245/40/17
245/45/17
255/40/17

Please search and read up on this. There are a ton of threads on it.
