hey,
I'm looking at installing 245/70/17 BFG All Terrains on my stock,
14 SR 4x4 that came with 225/70/17 on 17x6 steel rims.
Stock 17x6 Rims are too narrow for the above tyre. BFG states 17x7.5 minimum.
Allianz will not insure me if I go beyond 1" wider rim = 17x7 max.
Hard to find a decent cheap alternative in 17x7. Mainly 17x8, e.g. dynamic Sunny Style.
Might have to changer insurer, not sure if they would insure a 17x8 or is it legal for an SR.
Just car insurance Said they would insure as long as its legal, and my premium would increase about $20 per month more for the 17x8 upgrade. $240 PA = BS
Keeping in mind i want to be fully covered by insurance, as the car is still owned by the bank.
Much time spent researching, tyre dealers = some good many bad with advice. In the event of an accident can responsibly be placed on these "qualified" tyre installers if it goes pare shaped?
If tyres were the cause? Or deemed illegal?
Do they have any liability at all?
What are you running on Stock SR Rims?
Very Very confusing.
Thanks.
