Rims are the original factory fan blade rims. I do not have time to search..just want a simple answer.

Thanks david

205 50's will fit but they will be a bit pinched. You don't get the whole benefit of the tire at that point. I had 205 hoosiers on my fan blades at one point those are as wide as most 225's

OEM for 2nd Gen were P175. I did P185 with no problem.

I guess "tire float" issues could manifest going wider. Imagine your wheel shifting side-to-side when shifting weight from left to right on the tire.

Under hard cornering it will rub the strut in the back. It shouldn't rub in the front unless your car is lowered.

If you are going that wide you are better off with the 50 and not the 55 less side wall flex
