I have a 94 se with the 15" wheel option. I was wondering if anyone put a larger size tire on their car that what was stock (205/55/15), and if so, how big can I go without rubing the well on the front of the car. Any info would be appreciated. Dominick.........

well i have 215/45 17 which is pretty close to stock. there is plenty of room left. i think 225/40 18's are the perfect size for our cars and look the best. i wouldn't go any bigger than that. if you're talking about width i wouldn't go bigger than 235 or it might come close to rubbing the strut (unless you get wheels with a different offset)

i currently am running on 225/50/16. it is larger than stock and smaller than stock. are you wanting to go with a wider tire or a higher side wall? chris THANX, CHRIS HTTP://OURWORLD-TOP.CS.COM/PROBN4LIF PROBN4LIF@... "MUST GO FASTER"

I want to know how big i can go because right now I have a 205/50/15 on the car, and it doesn't look right. It just doesn't fill out the wheel well, and almost looks like one of those guys who put a nice low profile tire on their truck, and didn't lower it. Just stupid, so I want to stay wide, and just go with a higher sidewall. Dominick...........
