I have a 95 200 ser, looking to buy all new tires in a couple of weeks. I want 225/50/15, but will these fit on my stock rims without rubbing, if not what's the widest I can go. Thanks

working at a tire store, I can tell you that 225s will "fit", but they're too tall. The best size(s) you can go w/ are 205/50/15 or the 215/50/15 (which happens to be the exact same height as the OEM tire).

pardon me for seeming so rude but what do you need 225's for? Drag? If this is your street tyre and/or auto-x you don't need to go any wider than 205 or 215 Remember your off-set and alignment as well

Happy motoring

I would also like to know what you can cram under there. I will be running stock suspention but want a tire to fill the well up more. I will also be going turbo and Taller is better with turbo cars. How much taller is the 225-50 over stock?
