Does anybody tried to put 225/50/15 tires on stock GT wheels? Just wondering if they fit with no problems and how the ride is?
Also, if you guys got pictures of the tires on the wheels, could you post them? Thanks. Igor |

i had 222/45/17 on my 17x7's...the stock GT rims are 15x7 so yes that size will be fine.

You may want to go to Tirerack.com and check that the tire you are contemplating will work will 7" wide rims. The specs give the range of rims that each tire will handle and also give the "measured rim width" which is the ideal rim width. Many 225's will work on 7's but with alot of tires you will be pushing the minimum width. I read a post from Spedtoe where he indicated that too wide of a tire for his rims cost him some performance.

225's are actually about perfect on 7in rims. I have 245's on 7in rims now. The car isnt as responsive when twitching the steering wheel back and forth but its all about the look yo!
