Hi

A quick and probably stupid question.

I have a 2000 3.2TL that have tire size 205/60/16 on it. Would there be any problem if I switch the tires to 225/55/16 ?

Thanks in advance

 

nope, thats what im running right now. 225/55/16 khumo's and im lowered. if u go any lower profile than 50 and your lowered it wont work.

 

thanks

 

A classic Plus-0 upgrade with a ton of awesome tires available in that size, very nice!

If you choose to stick with the stock 16" wheels, this is the tire upgrade to do!

 

Agreed. I just put on 225/55's on my TL last week. Very happy with the look and ride. Very cost-effective, too.

 

can any of you post some pictures? thanks!

 

nothing wrong with that set up. ive been running 225/55/16 for 177,500 miles

 

yea i would also like to see pics. would it increase the wheel gap?

 

I was running 225/55/16 Yokohama avid v4s' and they were great, until i upgraded to type-s rims.
By the way the 225/55/16 are for sale with less than 500 miles on them (do a search for them in the black market)

 

One drawback might be lower gas mileage due to higher rolling resistance. The wider tires also get noisier as they wear. I have 30k miles on my 225s and they are getting louder and louder( even with rotating and balancing every other oil change). But they look GREAT on my '99TL so its give and take. BTW, I got 70k miles on the original Mich tires and great gas mileage, but when I went shopping for tires they were about 2xs the price of the G-Force KDWS.
