Why? There would be so much side wall flex and lack of support, that the handling would drop pretty baddly anyway.

Can you fit... 225-50 15 on a stock GXL rim?

and the answer to your question RotaryXplosion7, i second Icemark.. you would get sidewall flex, and the car would float alittle.

-Markus

But now i'm curious about the tires i wanna get, i need new tires, but i want alittle wider than 205-60-15's...

yes, you can fit 245s on a TII wheel. Do you want to?

I'll be running 245s or 255s in the rear, and 225s in the front, but with FD wheels (16x8)
