205/60R17 = 26.7" O.D

your fucked up equations equal;

225/55R17 = the EXACT SAME DIAMETER AS ME, only wider? are you fucking retarted? 26.7" O.D

225/50R17 = 25.9" O.D wow, half a fucking inch and you still have wide fucking tires.

stfu if you do not understand wtf your talking about.

learn math…it helps.

O.P - take who’s ever advice you like. Not trying to be cocky or ignorant towards you in any way. Yet, I am right. Some people just like to think they are the almighty of everything.

I run 33x12.5R15 on my S10 in the summer. 255/60R15 in the winter. height does suffer. width becomes an inch narrower. Then again, on my lifted truck I need width for stability.

Slideways…want to debate more?
