Recommended tired size?

[xpeed]

Okay, first of all, I have a five OEM 2005-2006 SEV6 17" Rims for the Camry Gen 5.5

I once knew what tired size was recommended, but I lately forgot the number now since I've finally mustered myself to get off my ass and buy some shoes for these gunmetal babies.

So, what size would be the correct one for these rims? They're 17"x7.5 rims. I believe it was a 225/50 17 tires? Or is there a different size?

*Hope you don't mind but i'd like to add two more questions since they are somewhat relevant.

If you get new tires which are bigger then the stock ones is there anyway to recalibrate the speedometer, and will you lose any performance due to the increase in size?

They're 17x7. Stock size is 215/55-17.

If you plus size correctly, there should not be any need to recalibrate because the circumference should be the same.

There are many more variables to determine if a wheel will cost performance than diameter.

Thanks for the replies but I was asking about a larger circumference size, sorry for not being clear in my post.

Thanks hawkeye, I knew it was 215/55 17. Thanks for confirming it. And yeah, I realized my typo, it's 17x7

You're effectively making the final drive taller. Which means that you will lose some acceleration. But, given the same weight and friction, a taller wheel and tire will give you better gas mileage on the highway.

I have the same size rim on the gen 6 and i was wondering how big i would be able to go, width wise, safely.

[johnnyzee]

225 50 17 is safe (my winters)

[20camry07]

235 50 17 too big?

Use the following calculator to figure out what plus-sizes will not affect your speedo reading. Basically, select a tire size which will have nearly the same circumfrence.

stock- 215 55 17 - 26.311in
235 50 17 - 26.25in

i'm only worried about width, i'm keeping the same dia./circumfrence

edit( just re-stating that i have 17x7 rims)

[20camry07]

so is 235 50 17 too wide for a 17x7 rim?

I would like to know the answer to this too. I want to get some Goodyear eagle F1 all seasons but 235/50/17 is the closest size I can come to stock.

Actually I know they will fit the rim. What I want to know is will they rub when cornering hard. Everything is stock on my Camry.
