235 will only raise the height of you sidewall, to go wider you would need,
55's or 60's or so instead of 50's, and I don't know where that came but
235's will give you less clearance as will any bigger rims.
I know everyone now for some reason likes big ass rims, but in reality go out
get 20's and drive the car like you would everyday, hit those potholes at speeds
without slowing to a crawl, Iave seen so many people have to slow down so
much just to cross a railroad track, while I with stock tires glide over them at speed.
and with lowered cars having to slow down over the tiniest bumps in the road, God
forbid go over a speed bump at 5 - 10MPH, I have even seen them bottom out going into
a low parking lot.
I mean I am not putting down anyone for customizing their car at all, I just ask why with
the big ass wheels? I mean I know some cars look better with bigger wheels, and some just look
plain stupid. like musclecars with 20's not looking good there at all, 17's maybe, considering that
most came with 14's back in the day, but raising a car just to put bigger tires looks dumb, and
I have seen that too. if you can lower a car a few inches, and tuck some wheels under it that
don't rub, but fill the fenderwells, now that looks great.
but back to the point, the width number is the (50), height / aspect ratio is (235),
and I would imagine that 55 would be your widest on stock 17" rims, if that even works.
