225/50/16

Hi everyone:

I need a set of summer tires (currently on studded snows and the crappy stock Goodyears are worn out), and I'm thinking about upgrading from the stock tire size. I want to go to a 225/50/16. Will I have any fitment or odometer issues with this tire size? I'm on aftermarket 16x7 +40ET wheels right now. Thanks for the input!

225/50-16's will be perfect. No problems whatsoever, and you won't rub on the TRD drop either.

Great size to go with. Im happy with my Sumitiomo HTR+'s

The ride and traction difference was just awesome!

Oh one thing though... The tires are almost too wide for the rim so your hubcaps might make noise as the sidewall somewhat crushes them as the wheels are rolling. Its weird cause they didnt make any noise when I first got the tires and then all of a sudden it started. Sounds like fender liner rubbing but its just the hubcaps.
