TIRE SIZES
 
Would 235/50/17s be too small?

Should i just stick with 225/55/17s?

I think they would. I have 255-45-17's and they fit fine. I'm thinking of trying a 275-40, but they might be a liitle big and have some rubbing problems. The height is about the same, but the 275's are almost 1" wider. The 245's rub slightly when I hit a bump, especially with a passenger in the back. The car is also lowered 1 1/2". If your car is not lowered, I would go with at least a 50 for the height.

on google.ca type in tire size calculator and then punch in the 2 sizes and it will tell you all the differences, i dont think you'd notice much difference out of those though

I checked the calculator and the 235/50/17s are .3 inch shorter and the 245/45/17s are .9 inches shorter than the stock 225/60/16s. What should i go with if I plan on getting Eibach lowering springs eventually?

Also, how much would it cost to get my speedometer adjusted?
