I wouldn't go any wider than 225.....205 or 215 is nice and it shouldn't throw off your ratios....

On 4 lug rims, the highest you can go is 215, though i woldn't go any wider than 205.

I read you can go 225 on the 5 lugs, but I'm running 205s on them as well, which seems adequate

A wider tire won't throw off ratios, but a different profile one will.

i run 225's in the front, 255's in the rear. 225's is biggest you can run without using spacers.

i know running a wider tire won't throw off the peedo but when u run a wider and keep the same aspect ratio you will have a taller tire (aspect ratio is percentage of width of tire) that is y i needed to know the wides and what ratio to keep about the same height
