is 225/50/15 too wide for 15" * 6.5" rims?

thanks

or is it better to stick with 205/50/15?

 

205/50/15 is going to work out nicer, but if you really need the traction, then stick with 225.

 

if you feel its too wide meet halfway... try a 215...personally i would stay 205 on a 6.5... maybe i will try 215 next time so that i have input to give....

 

it will work

7" is better

 

I have 215 45 16 azenis on a 6.5" wheel. Works well. turn in is a bit less sharp than with my 205 SO3s, but as long as you have the psi up to ~40 it should be fine. I don't know if this would be any less applicable on a 15" wheel though.

 

so it's probably better off with 205's on 6.5?

if tire is too wide it might rub too? my car is pretty slammed right now.

 

205 would be better


This is an ITR right?

 

I have 205/50-15 MXs on 15x6.5 and they are wonderful.

I'll be using 225/45-15 RA1s on 15x7, I'll let you know how they do.

 

im putting 225/50/15's on a 6.5" wheel...

let me know how it goes

 

I got BFG radials 225/50/15 on my 6.5s, and it depends if u want straight line acceleration or handling. if u want handling get 205, straight line get 225, their really sick. My tires look really beefy w/ the 6.5s. 225 all the way..
