i have 215 65 15 on the rear right now and i have lowering springs. i want wider tires like a 225 or something, the 215 dont hit the fender but are pretty close so im thinking the 225 might fit?? what about the front? i want to some 205's on the front??

the tire width & rim width are two diff things. most guys nowadays are stretching tires like crazy. ive seen 215's on a 9.5" rim. but to answer your question just look over what other guys have done on this site

btw, i have 225/45/17's on 17X8 +35 all around and only rub a lil on dips cuz the car is lowered 1-3/4' in the front.
