Changing Tires

Hi guys,

I have 225/45/17 all round and my rear tires are due for replacement. I'm thinking of going for something wider at the back like 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 as replacements. Will i need a new set of rims?

Garage List
For the wider tire you should have a wider wheel. Most of the time the 225 uses a 8"-width and the 245/255 uses a 8,5"-width
