    Thinking of getting Bridgestone RE-71R but they dont have 215/40-17. I like the idea of going to a 225 but they dont have that size.
    What are they thoughts on fitting 225/45-17 on the stock rims?

    A little too tall and a little too wide.
    Would go with 205/45/17 or 215/45/17 instead.

    Thanks, it will be the 215/45 then. Now just to get some ordered and wait. There seems to be some delays shipping the RE-71R to Canada.
