Will 225/55/16 tires fit?

They will buldge-out on the sides and have that over-sized look, but there are some good prices online right now.

55's are going to bulge out way too much...

i hope you're not trying to fit those on the stock rims.

i'd go for 215/50/16

Naw...probably not. I'll most likely just go up to 215's.

that is almost another inch in overall height, do not get a 55 series tire in that width.

OK...so IF I decide to get 225's get 50 series? I don't imagine 225's would rub any...considering the 1st Gen CL's have a turing radius of an Excursion

Ok maybe not that aweful but it is pretty sorry for coupe.
