#27223, "tire sizes on stock rims"
Jun-02-05 08:48 AM by dsmmyth

          

Ok, I have done quite a bit of researching, and I want to go bigger than the stock 205/55/16 tire. So far I know that the 215/55/16 and the 225/50/16 will fit. Are there any other sizes I should know about that will fit on a 16x6? Thanks.

Edit: This is for daily driving without messing up my speedometer rating. Thanks.

I don't think you want to go with a 225 tire on that 6" rim.

check out this website, knock yourself out, and find out all the tire sizes that will fit.

Yep, I went there and I found out that 225's aren't really ideal for my application right after I posted. I think I'm going to go with 215/55/16 Fuzion's from tirerack.

Thats the same tire I used. It did its job on my daily driver. Dry or Wet it was better than my orginals.

Good deal. I haven't heard a bad thing about them yet.
