Can these tire/rim sizes fit on the NX? I want to get as wide as possible for autox. Main thing I want is a 225 size footprint if it can fit.

my 205/55/15's almost hit the strut in the rear.

You can't fit a tire that wide unless you do some fender work, which would be legal for DSP but would toss you out of Street Touring.

Agreed. Mason, without some serious rolling, you're not going to fit 225s under there.

I have 215-45-15 on +35 offset 7" wide TE37 rims, and that is the largest (ok, I could have gone for 16s, which would also fit), but widthwise, it's TIGHT. They just fit in there.

Hmmm...I guess I'm getting a little optimistic on the 225's. 215 will have to do! Thanks guys.
