im about to order a set of falken ze 512s and i want something wider than stock. either 215s or 225s. does anyone know if i put 225s on the stock wheels will i rub or run into any other problems?

 

I have 225/45 on the stock rims with no problem. From what I've been told if you put 225/45 on the stock rim it comes out to be the same diameter as if you got the stock 18's.

 

i got two 255x70x15" bias plys tires there good for smoky burn outs

 

Any difference in the ride? it prolly would be better doing this coz you're not putting additional weight with a bigger rim, only a wider tire.

 

ok good thanks for the quick replys

 

I have 18s but wanna put my stock with different tire specs for daily driving.. not sure what would be best though

 

I too have 225s on stock rims. It does give a slightly more firm stance on the ground. It is completely safe. Some say that you can go up to 235s, but safety there would be a concern of mine. 245 is completely dangerous. 225 though is safe and doable.

On a side note: I would reconsider the falkens and get something a little bit better for your money.

 

The ride is a bit better because your sidewall gets thicker but it's hardly noticable. That also depends on which tire you get too.

 

having 225's also helps to keep you from rashing the rims against a curb.

I have 225's and I think the tC should have come stock with tires this wide, they look better and perform better

 

225/45/17's there

 

^^ did you remove your plastic liner?

 

225/45/17 Falken Ziex 512's (when I had my tC 2 years ago).

They are great for the money (dont listen to anyone that says otherwise).

 

My 235-40-17 BFGoodrich KDWs used to be on stock tC wheels before they went on my GramLight 57F wheels.

 

nope my stock tires ate them =X

 

and you had no issues?

 

Nope, no issues.
