Hello everyone.
My name is Mike, I just registered wanted to introduce myself. I own a 2004 intrepid sxt. I've made some modifications to my vehicle that make it one of a kind. When I purchased the car it was white with a beige pinstripe down the side. I removed the pinstripe and painted the hood spoiler and grill area flat black to give it the retro look that the new chargers now have. I'll post some pictures soon, I live in cleveland and she's kind of dirty right now. Any way I have a tech question... What is the largest outside diameter tire I can slam on my stock 16" rims. The car was equipped with 225-60-16's. There looks like a lot of room in the wheel wells still. Will a 235-55-16 fit. Or am I out of my freakin mind?
Thanks.

Not a bad car. Make sure to visit our Intrepid section in the Blast from the Past area. As for the wheels.....If you are looking to go larger.....I'd suggest going to a bigger wheel rather then a bigger tire. 225-55-17 will give you relatively the same wheel/tire size but it will take away more because the rims will look bigger.

If you try and throw that larger tire on the car, it will mess with your speedo some. You would need to have it adjusted.
