... it will be really tall and you will need your speedo recalled... also you might have a small chance of rubbing up front only cause of the turning... other wise it should work

Yeah, that refers to the sidewall height.
Will it be that much taller? I know the OE tire size is 205/65R16. |

hahaha, just found one and it looks like it will even out. The 225/45R17s are reading 4 MPH higher than stock and putting a 225/60R17 will read 2 MPH lower than stock.
