Anyone ever tried this size on our cars? I know rim offset and how much you are lowered has a lot to do with it, but just wondering if anyone has experience with this size. I know it will throw the speedo and gas mileage off a bit, but I am not concerned with that.

What brand of tire are you looking at in that size? I'm not aware of to many in that size of hand.

BFG Drag Radials. I have been running the 205/50s for the last 3years and now I need to replace them.

I did not see the drag radials but according to this chart the tires I have now the 55 series would be a little taller.

My 205/50 rub a little on the rear so I added a spacer to the coil spring on an otherwise stock suspension.

err I actually have these EDIT

discounttiredirect.com has them. I run Azenis 205/50/15s on the rear so the 225/50s would only be on the front. Looks like I may have to try them.
