Still confused on tire fitment...
As far as I understand it we can't put anything much larger in diameter than the stock tires, and they are approx 24". My question is how much larger can we go without running into interference issues? For example, on a 17x7.5 wheel the optimal size seems to be 215/40-17. That gives about a 24" tall tire. But what if we want a larger diameter tire to increase the rolling radius, are we limited to 24" tires or can we go up to say 24.5 or 25" tall tires?Comment

I don't recommend anything larger than the 24.0".
