supposedly not with the stock wheel size and offset in the rear.... i cant say for the front. i am kind of wanting to go 225 up front as well but it seems questionable on the gap between the tire and the spring

225-?-16.. I need to know the profile too. I'm putting my car on blocks soon to get the stock rims powder coated and then getting new rubber to go with them. I'd like to go bigger tires in the rear than 225's.I have stock springs on it by the way.

Yes, I having the 10ae rims powdercoated with matching white. Thanks for the size advice,
I will go with the 225/50/16 up front and 245/50/16 in the rear. Discount tire will be doing the mounting without the car, so I hope they fit when I put them back on..

225x50x16 TOYO T1R front and rear with Tanabe springs (lowered the car an inch all the way around). I'm getting some rubbing in the front on the springs with real hard cornering. Guess it depends on the profile of the springs and tires from brand to brand. Plenty of people have said they have no problem with 225x50x16 up front so...
