Yet another tire width... searched

I searched, and 99 percent of the threads ive found for stock rx7 wheels were for either 14" wheels, or TII 16" wheels......


How bout the 91 n/a 15" wheels?

I've heard of people trying some feature on tirerack.com (where i'll more than likely be buying tires from) but I can't find any such feature.

set of stock 15 what? tires? wheels?

I'm quite happy with my 91 wheels.

Do you have any pics of your car with the 225/50? Hell... even the 205/50. I'm just trying to see what a 50 profile would look like. At stock height, I think that's a bit too much fender space.

Did the 225s have alot of side bulge?

225 tires are not recommended on a wheel as narrow as a 6 inch. If you are going with a 225 you should use at least vert wheels which are 6.5 inchs wide
