Detailed tire and wheel breakdown for the 1998 Plymouth Prowler
Tire geometry â 225/45R17
The 225/45R17 fitted to the 1998 Plymouth Prowler has a section width of 225mm and an aspect ratio of 45%, mounted on a 17-inch rim. That gives a sidewall height of 101.3mm (3.99") and an overall outside diameter of 634.3mm (24.97"). At highway speed this tire completes roughly 502 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 Plymouth Prowler while keeping the speedometer accurate, target a 235/38R18 (plus-one). For a softer ride or winter setup, a 215/53R16 (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 Plymouth Prowler uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 71.5mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 7.0J â 8.0J, and offsets in the ET33 â ET43 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.
Staggered setup notes
The 1998 Plymouth Prowler ships staggered: 225/45R17 up front and 295/40R20 on the rear. That is a 295mm vs 225mm width difference â do not rotate front-to-rear, and replace tires in axle pairs to keep ABS and traction control balanced.
Tire pressure guidance
Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 1998 Plymouth Prowler 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%.
