    Before I start - thank god the hatch is back!!! But now I need help before I make an expensive mistake! I have stock 16" wheels on my '05 with a 1.3" drop. Can I fit 225 50 16's without rubbing?? I'm looking at Dunlop Star Specs or Kumho XS and maybe Falken 615's depending on availability and price. I'm also considering 215 45 16, but I want the widest possible tire for Autocrossing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Anyone?

    I run 235/40/17 Toyo RA-1s on my car on Buddy Club RSDs not lowered excessively and they fit just fine in the front. Required rolling the fenders in the rear though.

    And that's a very wide 235/40 at the tread. They must be really nice. How many miles do you think you'll get?

    So what do you guys think? 225 50 16's "should" fit with no problem? Anyone running them?

    I don't know. Doesn't matter really. The RA1s are my track tires I've got some Azenis that I run on the street. My car is no sort of a DD, shes a track whore.

    I'm planning on ordering a set of Drag DR 31's in white, and would like to double check that they will fit with 0 issues.

    Wheel size: 16x7
    Tire size: 205/55/16
    Drop: ~1" (Eibach Pro Kit springs)

    Based on the math I should have 1mm less clearance on the inside and the outer edge will sit 11mm farther out that stock. I took some measurements and did research and I "think" they will fit. My only real concern is running a 205 width tire on a 7" wide wheel. I don't want it to look stretched at all, I'm running the 205's because its what I have at the moment. When they wear out I plan on upgrading to some wider tires. Like I said, I'm almost positive this will work no problem, but haven't been able to find anyone running this tire/wheel combination to confirm with. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

    yes.. you'll just need a roll in the rear..

    what i have that fits:

    17x7.5 +45 with 215/45-17 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs

    17x8 +45 with 235/40-17 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs

    both with no rolled fenders at stock height..
