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 |

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.
