get the wheel size, x/y/z
- take tire width X and divide by 25.4 to convert from mm to inches (1)
- take (1) and multiply by aspect ratio Y as a percent (2)
- take (2) and multiply by 2 because there are 2 sections of sidewall as you calculate the rolling diameter (3)
- take (3) and add rim diameter Z to get the overall rolling diameter in inches

X/25.4=(1)
(1)*0.Y=(2)
(2)*2=(3)
(3)+Z=overall rolling diameter

since you are getting somewhat narrow 7" wide rims, offsets don't have to be as high, but this is like on the low end too. if you can try getting a 42 if possible and 45 would definitely be better.

Well, the TL-S rims for the same car comes in 215/40/17. This is the recommended tire size from tirerack, victoria, etc. But if I am to +2 size the tire, wouldn't I need 225/45/17?

Need your thoughts. thanks.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i guess you have a 6th gen right?
well i have 215/45/17 on my 5th gen and they fit just fine even though recommend was 225/45/17 or so it was just too big and made turning hard especially since my car is dropped
