Well, dude which car do you have 1st gen or 2nd gen??? How wide of rim? And it depends on what offset! Give us something to work with!

[SupaTalon]

dunno offset..17x7.5 is the wheels 95 Esi..dropped 2"..

I have 17x7.5 and I run a 217/45/17..:D I'm not for sure if the 235/45/17 will fit on a 7.5 wheel..

[SupaTalon]

yea itll fit..the tires are already mounted, im buying them off a friend.

If my 225 fit on a stock 6" wide rim then 235 will fit on a 7.5" for sure.

As far as 235 with 2' drop with sportlines I think they will fit. I am pretty sure but dont hold me against it.

Just my .02 cents,

I've tried to squeeze 235/40 tires on my 17x8 TSWs [w/ 1.8" drop courtesy of Eibach Sportlines]. Strangely enough, it worked with my Rage Road Hugger tires [but they fell apart]. When I tried the same size with a set of Dunlops, my rear fenders cut a groove an inch of the sidewall into the tread. Needless to say, that didn't work.

Sounds like it's gonna be 7.5" rims - yeah. And 8.0" rims - neah. Hope this helps...

MY homeboy has a 99 GST.He runs a Niche Chrome Bella 18x8.5 with BFGoodridges Euro T/A 225/40/18..He has a Eibach Pro Kit.Which I think is 1.8"..He has no problems.BTW he's selling them to get 19's..

[speeding_gsx]

Actually, the Eibach Pro Kit drop is 1.3" ... or else he'd have problems putting those under his 99GST. Also, I think the matter at hand is whether the tires are gonna rub - 225 are considered a safe with on the 2Gs.
