245s on stock s5 TII wheels?

Ive been told you can put a 225 on the stock wheels, but can you go up to 235 or 245?

I think 225 is the most for a 7 inch wheel. Not 100% sure, but pretty close.

I'm pretty sure on a 7" wide wheel 225 is about the widest you'd want to go. Safely, I mean. I have 225's on mine. If you want to run 245's up front you might need coilovers, and I'd suggest an 8" wheel.

You'd probably get better answers in the Suspension/Wheels/Tires section, though.

There's a LOONG FAQ for FC Wheels thread there, which should give you some more insight.

Good luck,
James

235 = sometimes
245 = probably not
