Max tire width on a stock tii rim
Sorry fellas i searched and couldnt find crap. I am in need of tires and want to put 225 50 16 all the way around my 90 GXL (has s5 tii/GTUs rims though). I have no suspension mods so it is sitting in stock heigth. Can i run the 225 without rubbing or rolling my fenders under? Let me know

i have 225/45/16 on my T2. they fit fine. 225s are no problem for a 7" wide wheel. i believe that a 245 is prolly the largest youll fit on a stock T2 wheel.

What do you run on your car sure shot? Stock turbos came with 205 50 16 right? So to keep my guages close to correct do i need to run 225 45 16? Thanks in advance fellas...

I run 225/50/16's up front and 245/45/16's out back on '89 BBS mesh style T2 factory rims (16x7). I would just stick with 225/16's all the way around as the rear sidewalls bulge over the rims.... but it does add more meat/traction if you need it.
FYI- Tirerack.com has Yokohama AVS I's in the size you are looking for @ $57-60 per tire! A smoking deal. If you can afford more then get Bridgestone S-03's.... as they are the **** but triple the price.
