Talking OEM 17" Tire Sizes

Do any of you guys know whether the OEM 17" wheels that normally have the 215 50s be replaced with 225 50s. I noticed that one guy had 225 45s, but I wanted to keep the same circumference....so my speedometer still reads correctly.

That's the reason for going to 45 for 225 tire. The 2nd number is the percentage of the width.

therefore 50% of 215 is 107.5 and 45% of 225 is 101.25, so it's close.
