95 Q: Stock wheel tire size fit?

[jacnc]

My brother has a 95 Q with the 15" BBS wheels. I do not know the offset. Stock tire size is 215/65/15. Stupid tire size for that car. Anyway, more tire choices, and maybe better price with 225/60/15.

Yes: the speedo will be a little off.No: he's not going to get new wheels.

Does any one know if the 225s will fit with these wheels? I know it'll be close up front, but don't know if they clear until they're installed

Shouldn't be a problem, but there's a few threads about alternate 15" tire sizes. Don't forgett o search "archived" posts.

A few of us are running Michelin Pilot Exaltos in 225/60 x 15. Only a few % off - no big deal - and great tires.

Fit isn't even close to being a problem. Members have 265s on the front without trouble.

Not worried about the %. Stuck my finger between the existing 215/65/15 and the front main link (proper name escapes me) and couldn't get past my second knuckle of first finger. Measured my finger and got about 8mm roughly. 225 is 10mm wider, 5mm on either side of wheel so I figure should fit, but don't know without mounting. Can't see 265s fitting without different offset or spacer. Wouldn't get 265s in 15" anyway, and wouldn't put them on stock width wheel either.
