    u could fit 255/45/17, but depending on the offset of said bullits, u might rub.

    You fix wheel gap by lowering, not by running larger tires.

    well see the stock tires on an 04+ are 225-60-16.. the same as the 97-03's.

    235-55-17's are perfect, if anything they're 2% bigger then the 225-60-16's.

    You probably have the 17x8.5 bullits with a +45 like I had.

    My Stealth was my daily driver and I ran lowered on coilovers (real coilovers not that coil sleeve garbage) on it from June 07 til I parked it at the end of February 11. Almost 4 years and 40k miles.

    You're running tires that are 1" too short.

    you sure ask a lot of tire questions instead of researching why you should or should not run certain sizes instead.

    You are the typical impatient kid who can't do his own research. The point of the site isn't to ask stupid questions that are easily answered with simple googling. The point of the site is to make a post when all other options are exhausted.

    As for his comments, he's a mod.
