I would think so. Both Tirerack and Edge racing recommend 205/45/17. Discount tire says you can mount up to 225/40/17. The 225/45's would be about a half inch taller than what you have now. I am sure they would also be a little bit wider. From your picture of your ride, you look close as is.

"ah weedhopper - you never mess with a "sound" guy" (PS I have access to a dozen or so production facilities & their archives)

2 tires, toal price $170.00 to the front door....Gotta love that www.edgeracing.com
I've been using these guys for about 3 years now I think. They have never failed me. Takes about 3 days to receive the tires.

Hey xsperf, my girlfriend who is now my WIFE buys $170.00 pairs of shoes all the time. She has one pair that cost around $600.00..... I think it's a diva thing. (i rebel by buying stuff for my car, or some DJ equipment, plasma t.v., yard equipment, etc.)
Boy those Execs. sure do dress nice!!!

Screw the note, get a tattoo... UNLESS:

I found the perfect woman,
I couldn't ask for more.
She's deaf, dumb & oversexed,
and owns a liquor store

I get to spend mine and my wife's money, it's OURS (LOL).....And that's great because I make pretty good cheddar but she makes a lot more than I do. And she's gorgeous to boot!!!!
Looks like a pretty smart set-up from where I'm sitting.

More power to ya "bro". In my line of work & travel, relationships are a "longshot". I admire the guys (&babes) that can make it work. After last world tour, my(ex)wife greeted me at Kennedy airport - big smile, "happy to see" then served me divorce papers. I'm not bitter - I understand both sides of that fence.

My philosophy: I don't date girls with alot of "baggage" & currently I'm the one with baggage (my work) and don't plan dragging any "sweet thing" into my nightmare
