Can I run a 225/50/r15 on a 7in wide wheel.
I have a FB with 15x7 Kosie K1 wheels.

I have 205/55/r15s all around but I want to run a 225/55 on the rears. I have a programable Sport comp Speedo so thats not a problem.

What will this do to the shape of the tire, the 205s are very squared off right now. I would think that a 225 would round slightly.

you will understeer more with the wider tires out back, but it should fit fine.

the cars going to make 300+ at the wheels. I dont think understeer will be a problem

this is meant to be a track car,

if it does infact understeer to much, Can I just adjust it out with the Rear sway bar?
