Clearnce is pretty tight on the B5, especially when lowered. I'd try the 225/45R17 for teh first set. Check clearances carefully and if there is room, up the sizing to 235/45R17 for the next replacement set.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

Thanks Gary. I have 235 Michelin Pilots on the rims now. Do HTRZIII's run any wider?
