I have 1995 ES300, which currently sits on 2006 GS300 17" rims. Stock tires are 225/50/17, and they rub the rear fender b/c of the 7mm spacers even after rolling those fenders.

Now tires are bald, what smaller tires can I install with 2006 GS 17" rims to avoid the rubbing of fender and possibly struts?

1) 225/45/17?
2) 215/50/17?
3) Or ???

Thanks,

Offset for GS rims is +45. I've read many threads and couldn't find out which tires can be used with 2006 GS 17" rims on a 1995 ES300.

Thanks,

No wonder, the 225/50 are balloon sized on something smaller like an ES.

Get either of the two sizes you posted... They're the same, well within 1% difference of each other.

I'd recommend the 225/45-17 since its common as dirt as a stocke size on many cars, so more available in that size vs. the 215/50-17... Been there, done that!

Thanks 01LexPL. That was really helpful. It's certain that Costco would replace my 225/50/17 with 225/45/17 on the same GS rims, right?

I'm not Costco, and don't know their policies. I never go to chain stores that sell tires since they're all b-line anyways and get mine thru a private party that orders from manufacturer direct...
