Detailed tire and wheel breakdown for the 1998 Eagle Talon
Tire geometry â 215/50R17
The 215/50R17 fitted to the 1998 Eagle Talon has a section width of 215mm and an aspect ratio of 50%, mounted on a 17-inch rim. That gives a sidewall height of 107.5mm (4.23") and an overall outside diameter of 646.8mm (25.46"). At highway speed this tire completes roughly 492 revolutions per kilometre, which is what your speedometer and odometer are calibrated against.
Plus-sizing window
If you want to upsize wheels on the 1998 Eagle Talon while keeping the speedometer accurate, target a 225/42R18 (plus-one). For a softer ride or winter setup, a 205/59R16 (minus-one) keeps the overall diameter within Âą3% of stock, which is the industry tolerance for ABS and stability control to stay calibrated.
Wheel fitment specs
The 1998 Eagle Talon uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 6.0J â 7.0J, and offsets in the ET41 â ET51 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.
Tire pressure guidance
Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 1998 Eagle Talon is printed on the driver-side door jamb sticker â always defer to that value, not to the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall. Check pressure monthly and before long trips; under-inflation by 20% can reduce tread life by 25%.
