tire questions

I like the look of 225's on the front but they rub a little with my 1" lower springs.
Anyone running 215's in the front? I know 205's will fit since most of the 1st gen people run those.

Here is a pic with the 225's

Hey Chad, I run 205/50/16's. They rub only on a sharp quick turn. They rub inside the wheelwell very little. If you run 215's, you will start cutting the tire down with the fender. Sometimes I get a fender rub and cut with my 205's. But I filled all the wheel well with my tires and no drop.

I use 215/50/13 with 5 mm spacers on the front wheels. No rub at all.
