    Tire Size

    What would be the maximum (widest) tire I can put on my car, with it being stock.

    Standard size is 225/55ZR/16. I believe the 55 number is the width and I was wondering how low I can go to make the tires as fat looking as possible before I run into rubbing issues?

    55 is height...225 is width.

    i have always ran 245/50 on my 7.5" rims and they were on my old fox 7" rims too

    Let me clarify. The back won't be an issue, but I am more concerned about the front tires becuase they will be turning
