17 inch tire sizes

[Grumps]

Anyone running them please advise what tire sizes you have on front and rear. Tks

Tire Rack lists 215/45x17 as fitting a 1988.

Yes, that's the size I have on the front of mine. Need a larger size on the rear to help fill out the wheel well. Tks for your reply.

Can you measure the amount of additional clearance you have inside and outside? From that I can figure out what size will fit without changing the overall tire diameter. I assume you want to keep the same diameter to prevent speedometer error.

Inner is half inch from strut mount.
Outer has 4 inches at top of tire and 3 inches left and right of tire.
Possibly I need to go to a narrower and taller tire?

In the rear you can go to a 225/45x17. Anything wider you will need wheels with more negative wheel offset to push the wheel further out.

I'll check that out. Thank you
