Heya Folks!

I'm still thrilled about the car after a month of ownership.

But......... I am not crazy about the handling on the standard 215/60/R17's. But because I leased the car, I cannot take the chance of putting ultra profile tires without speeding up my KMs/Miles which will cost an arm and a leg if I go over my quota by the end of my lease.

By doing the calculation, here are the tires/rims that will match the same height as the current stock setup:

255/50/R17
225/55/R18
255/45/R18

It appears that the Bolt size on the Caliber is 5X114.3 (But even Dodge/Chrysler could not even say for they had not recieved those specs yet ?!!? lol)

So I guess my question is, has anyone tried 255's on this car. I am just wondering if there would be some rubbing done when trying to turn or inside rubbing when doing a tight turn.

I am not a tire expert but I do my studying when I am interested in something. The only problem is that there is a serious lack of technical information on the wheels/tires from the Chrysler/Dodge side of the game.

If anyone has information, I would GREATLY appreciate your input as you seem to be the last/ONLY line of information on this car.

 

If the overall height of the tire mounted on the wheel is the same as the factory combo, the odometer reading won't be affected.
