A Quick Question!
 
Hey guys!
I really like the stock wheels I was wondering if I could put 235 tires on back wheels?!
recently I found 3 nails in my back tires -_- so im looking forward to buy 2 new tires, is this an option for me?


sorry if im nub at this I have no idea about tires and rims! :eyebulge::eyebulge:

225 is about the max you should want to fit on a 7", but I've run into a guy at an Auto-X with 245s on the stock rim. You can make it fit it that's all you've got.

No. Look up tires on tirerack.com and look at specs. It will tell you the recommended rim width for tire width. While a 235 could fit on a 7" (stock) wheel, it is not recommended.

is it dangerous to go beyond the recommended?

Stretching can be dangerous. Going too wide, I'm not sure on the specifics other than it may not provide optimal performance. You can also search online for your specific tire and wheel width combination.

I run a 235/255 stagger on 8.5/9.5. The 235 is 1 size too small for 8.5 and it looks perfect with sidewalls perpendicular to the wheel lip.
The 255 is 1 size too small for the 9.5 but it is stretched pretty bad.

So if you plan to go outside the recommended sizing make sure to look up the tire you want and see if it runs narrow, normal, or wide.

235mm is 9.25 inches.
255mm is 10 inches.

Section width and tread width are very important.

Why dont you check in with stock tire warranty?

They might be able to help out
