anybody running 225/55/17 on MCS 2003?

I was thinking of changing my 205/45/17 tires to 225/55/17 for a smoother ride and also I like the wide and meatier tire look, I have no idea on how it would look in the mcs though.

I have the stock 17" white bannana type rims on mine.

If you guys have any picture of this setup pls post.

Thank you vmuch!

I ran 225/45/17 for about 3 years... slight rubbing as it was lowered ~2". But a little trimming will fit nearly anything.

There is little to no chance those tires will fit. Your Speedo will read wrong and if Binindustrys 225/45-17s rubbed I would say dont even try
