225/45-17, 25.0” dia (stock size)

235/50-17, 26.3” dia
The 235/50’s will definitely rub. I’m using 225/50’s and got slight rubbing for the first few months they were one. They only rubbed when I went over a dip in the road or a sweeping curve on the interstate. My speedometer is right on the money too with the larger size.
They don’t rub anymore but I noticed I got wear spots on the front wheel well liners at the 10’0clock position if your facing the tire. One spot actually wore through, which doesn’t really bother me. The 225/50’s seem a bit smoother over RR tracks.
I think the 225/45 diameter looks too small on the car. I think I have a comparison picture in my album. I’ll check and add it if its not there.
