![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've done searches but found no helpful info on my particular situation.
My newly acquired Lexus SC300 ('92) appears to have the stock rims (215/60-15) with Firestone Affinities on them (I know, I know, it wasn't my idea).
If I want wider tires (not looking for racing spec, just better street handling), what size would they be to fit on the stock rims? 235/55-15? As far as I can tell there is no such size as 235/55-15.
I'd like to not affect the odo, if possible. Do I really have to get bigger rims? I can't afford to do that right now and the tires are going to require replacement sometime in the next 5 months.
