Advice needed on rear tire upsize
Hi, guys:
I need advice on the following topic, any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My 05 S2000 rear tire need replacement in next few months. I'm trying to decide whether to stay with the OEM size (245/40/17) or upsize to 255/40/17 with the OEM rear rims for better looks and grip. I have checked with the tire calculator section which shows the diameter is well within the suggested range by upsizing to 255/40/17.
Any stories or suggestions?

Since your '05 does not have VSA you should not have any problem with upsizing one size other than the higher tire cost and slight weight added.
