Hey guys,
I'm looking at replacing my stock tires with something wider and more performance-directed... How wide of a tire can i go with the steelies??

Thanks!

*Pictures would also help ALOT!*

 

205-55 will keep about the same diameter, but put more meat on the road, and can mount on the stock rims.

 

So 205 is the widest i would be able to fit on the steelies without any problems?

Thanks,
Cya

 

205 isn't the widest, your car comes with 215's, he was just giving an example. I wouldn't go any wider than 225s on the stock rims...

 

Er, he's in an xB - they come with 185's...

 

whoa, totally missed that part, sorry all! -goes and stands in corner-

 

205-55 is what I am aiming for after the OEM tires wear out. I drive pretty consertive most of the time with wife in car, so I am afraid that the OEM's may last 50K, and I have 16 K now, so it may be a while. Normally don't wish a tire would wear out, but I do now. I believe they would look great on the car. Also, keep in mind that 205 of different brands have different tread widths. I was amazed that my Mom's car has 195's on it, and they look very meaty compaired to mine, but them are a different brand. So just see what is out there in the 205-55, and you can get meaty on the stock steelies.
