will 225 45 fit on stock rims.... What will that do for the ride of the car...

You mean the A/S??? 225/45s will fit, albeit they'll fock up your speedo. I have 225/50s and the ride is pretty good. Price for the A/S are about $200 a piece.

Since you don't want to mess with the speed, the the stock size is good. Or you can go to 235-45-17's. These match the closest to the stock size tire, & will effect your speed about 1mph.

A brief answer... The 235, or 225, or 215, number is the width of the tire in milimeters. The other number 45, 50, 40 etc are the aspect ratios. Basically the hiugh the width, the lower the ratio will need to be.

This should help you out.
