widest wheels with 15X7
Anyone have lets say 215, or 225 with 15X17 wheels? I orderd 225 ziex, but they changed to 205 bc they said thats the only tire that will fit in 15" size. Anyone can prove wrong? Thanks

Did you order the tires and wheels together? I ordered tires and they said thats not the stock size. I said " I ordered what I wanted" and they sent what I ordered. It was dicounttiredirect.com. I don't know your answer though.

Rep Power: 244 Well i went to pick up, the tires they put on wher 205-60....so now the back fender looks as if if i take a hard turn its gona hit it...man what a mess. Does the 60 hurt in performance, and having 50 would really be better? Other than the fact that i might hit the fender.
