    thats pretty tight fit, might think about something else considering snow builds up in your wheel wells and could make it even tighter...

    hmmm...thats a toughy to decide...looks like it might work, but when you put bigger tires like that your car does lift up a bit, not much....

    i would do 45 at least, 55 might be pushing it unless you plan to raise the car a bit

    Search for a tire calculator, this is what I got for you:

    Diameter of 235/35/19 = 25.5 inches
    Diameter of 235/55/17 = 27.2 inches


    You may rub...

    (27.2-25.5)/2= 0.85" needed to have clearance. Remember that the other half of the overall diameter is touching the ground!

    Won't let me edit for some reason

    In my expieremce you need spacers on the front atleast to prevent the 55s from rubbing on the inside
