Pls help/advice tire size
Dear all,
Going to buy a set of tires for my Evo5, Im running stock wheels 17x7.5 et38 currently have 225/45/17 fitted atm.
I wanted to see if I could fit 235/45/17? Tires would be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2, I heard from someone that these specific tires aren't wide as some in same size are.
Just wanted to get your thoughts, would I be able to run 235's? Or should stay 225's?
Massive Thanks in advance

I have run a 235/45/17 for the life of the car. My car makes in the range of 500+whp and 400+tq and does not need anything wider/taller. It does not slide around in turns, it does not spin tires, and is a tried and true size.
Also, based on the clutch you are installing (exedy stage 1 hd) I really think you are wasting money on going with a bigger tire that will serve no additional benefit.

If you want to go 235/45/17, it's best to have 8 or 8.5" wheel width so you won't get a tyre with pinched sidewall

Thanks for all your input guys really appreciate it, this seems like a tough call....
My main reason for trying 235's would be to fill the arches a lil bit.
Plus the tires Im fitting ( goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2) Im also told these tires arent as wide as some others on the same size
