to rub, or not to rub. That is the question.

i found a sweet deal on tires, i just need to know they arent going to rub. ive searched and have found mixed results. im sticking with the stock GS rims, and looking to put 225 50 15's on..some have said that 225's rub on the strut, other say they havent had a problem?? right now the car they are going on is at stock ride height if it matters.,and if its going to rub, is there any way i can make these tires fit??

no body has run these tires on the stock rims?

it depends on a few things, what suspension are you running and what camber settings are you using?

im going to use stock springs, with kyb struts..everything is completley stock right now otherwise..will wheel spacers be needed?
im in the proces of doing the suspension right now, i would really like to fit these tires, they will look soo meen on the car, but i wont buy them until i know they can fit..so if i need a certian setup, nows the best time to get it.

I've seen someone on this forum fit 225/50/15's on a rim with ET35. I believe it was on stock style suspension and it must have been a tight fit. 10mm spacers should do the trick, 15mm spacers will make it flush, but you'll have to roll the rear fenders.

i have 225/50/15 BFG dragradails in the front on the stock rims and iam dropped on intrax springs with no rubbing. but i did just rotate them to the rear do to excessive wear and they do rub the strut a little with HARD conering (do to tire flex)


hope that helps any

thanks..unfortunatley missed out on the deal for the tires..so i ended up getting some 17's with rubber for the same price
