Help now! Tire Size

[BLACK'98DSM]

Will 225/50/r16 fit on the stock suspension setup? Right now Im at 205 and they seem close to the upper control arms. I do not want to use wheel spacers. Im going Black Friday shopping this evening so thank you for you time.

Should fit under the knuckle arm just fine as long as your wheel offset is anything less positive than +45.

I run 245's but I have Evo wheels.

Agreed with delta448. If your wheel's offset is anywhere under +46, they wont rub. I once ran 225/50/17 on a +46 offset Stealth wheel and there was less than an inch clearance with the knuckle bend but never rubbed.

I now run the same tire, 225/50/17 on EVO Enkeis which are +38 which spaces them even further out, so a 16 incher will definitely be fine. There was a nice sheet with data of what tire and wheel sizes fit our cars and when they start to rub. It's good to look it up.

I went with a 225/60. I'll see how it fits, but it looks like they will fit fine.

honestly to help with tire fitment we would need to know wheel specs as well. you can fit a lot beefier tire with a lower offset wheel (evo 8 wheel like motormax has +35mm offset)
