225/45/17 On The Rear And Fuel Consumption?

[A-LEX]

Hi guys,

I have to change rear tires so I'm thinking to put 225/45/17 instead of fabric 215/45/17 on my IS 200. Did anybody did this 215 front & 225 back and did he noticed any change in fuel consumption and so??? Thanks guys!

i left my caps on last time and couldnt be bothered to change the first section...... I thought the sportcross has wider wheels at the rear anyway?? or is that only the 300 version?

Well I dont know man, when I bought my car I had these Australian tires WINLI so I dont know what the previous owner had done with the dimensions on the Dunlops! :) I just think that is should be better to have rear wider if it doesnt cause problems! Cheers! ;)
