Hey gang, I'm finally ditching the run craps. I've got the stock 18's with the 225-45's.. I want to go as tall as I can without lifting. I was gonna lift the car, but decided against it. Will 225-55's rub at stock height? I know the 225-50 will clear.

TIA,

i am running 205/70R16 winter tires, od is 27.3" and there is no rubbing, but it is very close at full lock and when the suspension is compressed

a 225/55R18 is both wider and taller at 27.8" od ... i suspect it will rub

i would suggest a test fit of the 225/55R18

i test fit the 205/70s at a neighborhoos independant tire store ... we also test mounted a 205/75R16 of 28.1"OD and it rubbed

please post your results

215/60r17 fit fine and makes the speedometer exactly match gps.

 

we test fitted the 225-50-18's and I liked the look enough, and given it's my daily driver, I decided that would good enough. then I took it for a drive.. WOW!!! All I can say is ding dong the witch is dead.. good bye RUNCRAPS!

 

when my oem 225/45R18 pirelli p7s wear out i will be installing michelin 225/50R18 pilot super sports
