i wouldnt worry about the tire size i would worry about getting the rim to fit. the bolt pattern on that should be 5x114.3

its not gonna fit

225 tires are no problem. I second that those rims are useless though.

No offense, but that's why you do your homework before buying.

I just installed a set of 225/50/16's and still have loads of clearance with the stock suspension height. With the wheels turned and locked, I would think the widest may be 245's (another 3/4" wider) with the stock suspension. I think the 225's would hit under compression if I lowered her more than 1.5".

my 226's dont rub on my car and im dropped 1.75 front 1.5 rear. so you'll be fine as long as the offset is correct with the rimmmms your using.

225s are fine hell you could even do a 235 and be fine if you wanted a wider tire but most important thing is to make sure the rim fits before you get worried about tire size
