What is the Widest Tire That Will Fit on A Stock RX-7 Wheel

I currently have stock tires on my RX-7 225 / 50 / 16

What is the widest tire that will fit on a stock wheel of an RX-7.

If you have pics it would really help.

The tire size you have is fine. Get better tires.

no he means keep stock width 225 / 50 /16 but get a differnt brand of tires the tires u have are probably not great. Go with a performance tire, thats made of a better tread compound. What the tires made out of is way more important about how big they are.

a 255 chinese tire isnt gona give u better grip than a 225 performance tire
