65 profiles on stock rims?

Post by auzzam »

Hi guys,

Looking to put 225s on the back of my 15" stock rims.

Have seen some pzeros 225/50/15 which I'm sure will fit, but what about 225/65/15... Are these too big?

Way too big. The diameter of the tyre will be near on 70mm more than stock. The rear of the car will be riding nearly 35mm higher. Your speedo will under-read by ~10%.
