You can always go TALLER on the sidewall, and THINNER on the contact patch. But then, odometer measuring becomes a factor.

I bought whitewalls from them but i wasnt very happy, they replaced 4 defective white walls in a year so they do back their tires but they all cracked on me. They told me the whitewall was built into the tire but it isnt

If you change the size (diameter) of your tires. Take it to your friendly Chrysler dealer. They can plug in the computer, input new tire size and correct your speedometer. Very simple

Up to 2-1/2 " wide...call for details. I'll bet that in our sizes they aint no 2-1/2" wide. There just aint enough sidewall with a 17" wheel.
