I have a car (Maxima) that needs it's tires replaced. I am going to change all 4 tires.

The current tires are bridgestones ER44's and are 215 55 R 17's.

I am considering doing upsizing so I can get more wider tires.

Since I am not a tire expert, can someone fill me in on exactly how to upsize? if I am not mistaken then 215 is the width of the tire in mm's the 55 means that the sidewall is 55% of 215, the R is the speed rating and the 17 is the rim size.

So does this mean that if I want to get wider tires I go for something like 220 or 225 55 R 17's?

Regards,
