tire sizes on stock rims
anyone have experience with wider tires on stock rims? specifically, advantages & disadvantages of 215/55/16, 225/55/16, 225/50/16. I realize 225/50/16 is probably the way to go, but I'd like to avoid increasing wheel gap over stock. anybody have any thoughts?

225/50 R16... it handled so nice for such a skinny rime.. there was slight buldge but gave a good look to car... BEEFY.... I suggest if you do get 225/50s make sure its a hard side wall like DUNLOPs so you get no roll....
check out pics before rims to see what you can of tires!!!
