Back when I first started buying tires for my 17's. I was advised by Discount tire and Tire Rack to run either 215/45-17, or 225/45-17. When you keep going wider, you don't stay with the same sidewall # because it's a ratio of the width/sidewall. I'm sure you all know this. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to still use a 45 series on a 235. Try the math again Anthony and let us know. Stock was 205/55-16 if I remember correctly.
