i have 205-50's on my 16's, ive been looking at either 225-45 or 225-50 for my next set. im leaning towards 225-45's so overall diameter isnt too off of stock. however the 50 series does fill up the wheel well better.

popstar wiht 225-50's on 16's

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

well if you really want to feel up your wheel well, get some 225-55's smile.gif. spke719

just remember this tire size will make your speedometer innaccurate, and it will alter your final drive ratio to the point where it would probably be noticeably slower.

On a 6.5" wide wheel, I would not got 225/45/16 as mentioned above. 225/50/15 would be a lot better!
