What size of tires??

I bought a new set of 15X8 Aftermarket Steelies for my gen 3. I was wondering what size tires I should go for considering that it has an 8" width. Is 225/50/15 Ok? What do you guys think?

yea that might be tough to get those 15 x8.5s in tehre to fit. I'm got 225s on my Camry right now and its a tight tight fit (gonna add some spacers). But lemme know how it goes

Dave has 225s on there too and i know he has a lil bit of rubbing

Thanks for the website war0827.....the 225/55 are perfect. The ones I got are 15x8 (5X114.3mm) bolt pattern but i need spacers cuz the offset is way off. I wanted something stock but a little wider thats why I went for these. Plus my 14s are damaged anyways.

As for 13-16" steelies....they sell them at tires.com I think you can use the ones from the old skool supras too. But yeah..17" Steelies are rare.
