Tire Question GS

	My GS Originally came with 215/60/16s and I bought 17X8 Lexus wheels for summer... In order to maintain the same diameter, the closest tire is 215- 55-17... Does anyone know if that width tire would look normal or be too thin? Thoughts? Thanks

	although you are trying to stay as close to original tire size diameter as possible i recommend you have the cars computer updated to the new 17 inch rims this way you can choose what size tire you want...failure to have the ecu reprogrammed could cause catostaufic transmission failure. computer controlled transmissions are calibrated to tire size of the vehicle< I know i have heard it all , i changed my tires to bigger rims and never had a problem>but i see this problem on a weekly basis in the transmission shop i work in.we run 50-70 cars a week and see this problem in many vehicles..most of the time you only notice a small change in the speedometer reading but in truth you dont see the difference in wheel spin and shift point timing. tire changers beware.....

	Your new tires are only .587% taller for overall diameter - this is a "plus one" increase. Your rubber will look .43 inches shorter. If you r speedo says 65mph you would really be going 65.38 mph This is all based on the mathematics, but rarely do manufactures stick to exacting numbers, so your combo might be a little taller, a little shorter or dead on. Looks-wise, only you will notice it Enjoy -Shoe "Ben" <ben@spambait.com> wrote in message news:Xns96453661496DAbenspambaitcom@24.24.2.166...> My GS Originally came with 215/60/16s and I bought 17X8 Lexus wheels for> summer...
