I currently have 215 50 R17\'s on my Primera (standard size wheel for this car). Would the rims take 235 45 R17\'s (tyre circumference stays the same - checked this). There is loads of clearance etc.
Main reason is that the 235 tyre is about £40 each cheaper than the 215, and I get much more choice. Currently have Dunlop 3000A\'s.
Can rims take a slightly wider tyre ?

What size rims are they? 17 x 7 or 17 x 7.5?

Hi, 17 x 7JJ - Will this mean 215 is the limit ?

I am not positive, but I would say that 215 is the limit for those rims. I dont think that you could squeeze 225 on that rim. I have 17 x 7 rims and 205 x 40 x 17 rubber and have the same problem as you. Damn expensive tyres.
