Probably getting some Pirelli PZero Nero tires soon...Question...

I have the stock 17x7.5 wheels with 225/45 17 tires. I'd like to get a tire size thats one size wider without changing the stock turning circumference. Does anyone have or can recommend a good tire size ratio? TIA.

Rule of thumb would say 235/40/17. However, reality is you need to check the actual specs.

Some tires run wider/taller than others. Check the specs for your current tires (or the OEM tires) against the Pirellis. You'll find the actual widths and revolutions per mile, as opposed to the approximate numbers stamped on the side wall.
