Tire width
On the Pony Package 17x9 wheels, what's the widest tire than can safely fit on these wheels? I just got an X-Charger, and I'm thinking I want to get some wider tires for the rear end.....

I saw this tire sizer on a post somewere.I have the235/55/17 Perelliand was thinking 265/50/17 on the rear would be a good choice. All dimensions very veryclose except width.

RE: Tire width
Probably a stupid question, but is there a reason to not have the same wheel and tire combination on all four wheels? I've looked at some 18x10 Deep Dish Black Bullitts and now I'm wondering if this size up front causes a problem.

RE: Tire width
On the 2007 V6, the stock wheels are 16" with a P215/65R16 tire. If I go to a 17" after market wheel for a better look, what width should I consider maximum before I start to seriously impact fuel economy and turning ability? I'm still thinking that having all 4 wheels and tires the same, would allow for periodic rotation. Comments?
