235/40/17 on 17x7.5"
Anyone running this tire combination?
I know it's listed on tire rack for minimum 17x8" wide rims, but we don't always stick to specs . I would use them for rear tires.
My concerns:
Safety- It's not going to fly off the rim right?
Looks - will it look silly with 205/40 on the front (on a FWD)
Speedometer reading - Will it throw it off?
Rubbing - Will the inner tire rub the knuckle?
I think the stock tire size is 195/60/14, listed as 23.21" high
That's why I chose my 205/40/17's, listed as 23.46" high. (Not much difference, but sidewalls look too thin sometimes.)
And then these : 235/40/17, listed as 24.40"
(that's huge to me, but anyone know of this combo on a CB so I could see?)
