tire size.

Hi, I am wondering what are the biggest/widest tires I can put on the stock GSL-SE wheels? I was told that I could go with a 225/40, but I find that hard to believe. I would love to see some pics of bigger tires on the stock wheels. If any of you have pics, feel free to send them to my e-mail address:
mjm4jc@windstream.net.

Thanks,

Mike

I hear anything over 215 begins to rub on stock fenders. Roll them it should improve somewhat.

In your opinion, how would it look to just have the bigger tires in back only? I remember the old dodge conquest had bigger tires in the rear from the factory and looked awesome.

What do you mean by "roll them"?
