Largest size V710's for an 07 MC

Just as title says. Willing to use either 15" or 16" wheels. Infact the dealer is giving me an extra set of 15" wheels.

I ran the 215/40/16. I think you take too much of a hit in gearing to run the taller 225/50/16.

Several people have had success with the 205/50/15. I think the 225/50/15 will be too pinched on the 15x5.5 wheel.

Of course this was info from running my 02

To stay in H-stock you have to stick with a 6.5" wide wheel. Everyone is running 215/40/16. It is a very tight fit. The factory 15" wheels are only 5.5" wide, so you would have to go with a smaller tire.
