how may people here can fit 225'50's inthe front without rubbing? i got a 89 tII and i know that the rim wil handle the tire fine. i just dont know if it will ru the spring in front or not.

 

16-17"?

 

if I remember right, 225/50 on a 16in rim is the same diameter as the stock tire and rim. Thats what I have on the front of mine now, and theres plenty of clearance.

 

i have 225/50/16 up front with stock springs and shocks. i dont have any problems. i dont like that size id prefer maybe 225/45, that should look better.

than again i have some fugly goodyear hp's, those ******* are ugleeeee!

 

It is, and what I run.

 

yah they are the stock 16 x 7. k cuz i am needing tires pretty baddly and i ddint know if that size would fit. yah i was thihnkin about the 225/45 also. but the same tire ina 45 series is almost ten bucks more thatn a 50/s series.

 

Crusader 9X- If you can spend it... get the Bridgestone S-03's. I have them and they are the best tire that I have put on the car as far as a street tire goes. 225/50/16's up front and 245/45/16's out back on stock '89 T2 rims.

It depends on the tire. Some tires have a wider section width than others. I run 225/60/15 Yokohama AVS dB on the front. No rubbing, but maybe 1/8" clearance to the spring perches.

I'm running 225/50 t1-s on stock rims with k2rd coilovers. very close.

 

I have 235/45/17's yoko all around, the front does rub when I turn completely to either side, but it's not bad..just touches.

 

fits good the tire does.

 

It's like Brad stated. Depends on the brand. Yoko's did fit, but Michelin's didn't. Sidewall rubbed.

 

I run 225/50R16s all around - fits and looks great. I'd go with Falken Azenis; they've got a great price for an even better tire

Don't go 225/45R16s, as it'll make your speedo read high for little to no gain.
