Default Biggest tire size that will fit on a stock Del Sol

I'm getting some 16"x7 Rota Slipstreams 40 offsets for my DelSol (replacing my 14" steelies).

Just wondering whats the biggest meat I can fit under my car with out modification or "rubbing".

I was thinking of going with some 225/50r or maybe 215/55r

what yall think ?

You can get a 215/55 on there but it will screw up your speedo and tranny.

215 might rub at extreme turns, I'm running 205 with no rubs at all.

205/ 50R's ???

so maybe 225/50 will not rub too much ?

uh.....yeah, I think a bigger tire size will help my gas mileage to on the highway.....

I run about 3900 rpm's @ 70mph currently!!!!!

My friend uses 225/45/16 on Mugen wheels [not sure of the offset] and it doesn't rub at all. Check http://www.kingmotorsports.com for the offset of MF8/MF10. They also look wide as hell... which looks good as hell!

i dont' see you having any problems on stock ride height with either 205 55 or 215 50.
