Upsizing tires on stock 17" wheels?

[SeabeeChief]

All,

My 2009 Camry SE V6 has 17 stock wheels, the crappy Toyo Proxes J33's are pretty much shot at 15K miles. I want to go with a little wider, maybe a taller tire. Anyone know how big of tire can be run on the stock 17" alloys?

Not max, but what will be the best bet, is 225/55/17


Section Width
The linear distance between the outside of the sidewalls of an inflated tire without any load on it (this does not include any sidewall decorations)
Aspect Ratio
This is also known as the Section Height. This is figured as a percentage of the section width. A tire size of 205/60R15 would have a section width of 205 millimeters and a section height of 60 percent of 205 millimeters.
Rim Width
The width between the flanges of the wheel (the part the bead of the tire touches)

J33's shot at 15K? WTH? I'm thinking about getting the Yokos S Drive.

Does rotating tires make any difference?

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

yes, more even wear pattern.

[omairtheman1]

be cool and rotate every oil change...

a) makes you cooler
B) like punk said... even wear pattern

My Fiance is getting the Yoko V4S for her 07 V6 XLE pretty soon, but i'm eyeing the Yoko S Drives too (when my 09 I4 SE needs tires).
