I need new tires for the S5 vert and was initially going to get the BFG G-force 225 / 50 / 15 which drops the diameter down 0.8 inch from stock 205/60's. Not really excited about the wheel well gap getting bigger with these tires though and I cant afford new rims / tires. I am mounting Eibachs Pro springs as well.

I was considering actually going up in diameter of 0.9 inch with the 225 / 60 /15 size . ( diameter is 25.6 vs stock 24.7) Anyone ever tried this with the 225 tire on the stock 15" rims ?? Cant see the sidewall flex being that much worse with the BFG's which get good reviews. Figure they should fit , but could get a spacers if necessary.

direct experience or opinions on 225/60/15?

 

i had 225/60 back in the day, little tall
on the rear in this pic, not the front

 

Ok, so they work . Look good to me . Thanks

I don't autox or anything just enjoy high speed on ramps and country twisty roads when I can find them.

so no rubbing or spacers needed ?

 

plenty of room, just the tire will look tall
