    Lowest Profile tire I can get away with on stock 17's

    Gotta keep it stock for right now on the Maggie, So what's the lowest I can go with 17" alloys without it showing too much fender well? I don't really want to put "granny's" on there.

    Thanks

    You can go as low as you want... but anything smaller will give more wheel gap. How big a gap are you willing to accept before it's "too much"? Smaller sidewalls will also throw off your speedo and give a harsher ride. On the stock 17's, I'd just get the stock size...

    Ditto ^

    There's already a pretty decent gap to begin with. Going with lower profile tires will only make the gap bigger. For the price of new 17" tires, you might be able to find a good set of used 18" R/T rims/tires. They will have a lower profile than your 17"s.

    I think the stock ratio is 65, you are pretty much stuck with that since anything less will be too short.
