    25 = perfect for 225s.

    if you have to roll, you would have had to anyways......unless you ran 27 of koseis or something *maybe*

      You won't have to roll, provided the fenders and quarters resemble stock clearances.

          The offset is important.

                      same.

                      i'll plug the falken ziex's once more. they're actually cheaper in that size than they are in 205/55 for some reason *shrug*

                          Anyone know if 225/50/15's work on et27 15x7? I just picked up a set of Kosei's but they came with 205's, too skinny.
