Default You mean a 235 S-03 is equal to most 255 tires. :-)

I would say that a 245 is more like most 235 tires. 255 is pushing it a bit.

Default here are my S03 235/40s on 17x8s.... you tell me...

besides.... what good will that tiny bit of rubber REALLY do if you hit the curb at anything more than SUPER SLOW PARALLEL PARKING...

any push and the rubber will bend and you will scratch....

Default 245s are pretty big for the 1st gen. Just like 255s for the 2nd gen.

I'm glad my wheels are 8" because 255s are pushing it on the 02'.
