    Thank you I think I'm leaning toward the g force sport but I'm not entirely sure yet.

      Anybody have pictures of TRM C1's with 225/50/15 and are lowered? I just got these wheels and I am worried about rubbing, although my inner fender lip has been rolled I was just hoping to get some confirmation. I was hoping that these will fit, but I have been hearing about rubbing issues from some. I know the 225/45/15 will fit but was hoping to get a bit better tread wear and a little more height.

          Thanks for the help, sounds like I may be OK.

              Check with Wh33lhop. He has 225/50 R888's which are actually 24.8 inches tall. Looks beyond stellar.

                  I've been running the Khumo Ecsta AST in 225/50r15 on the TRM C1 15x8s. They are cheap like 77 each and are pretty decent for DD duty and ok in the autox track. I had to roll my rears because the rear fender lips were literally sitting on the tires, no spacers. I am running IE3s with spring pads and e90 top hats w/ spring pads. No issues up front unless tight uturns with elevation change I may rub, but all fenders are now rolled. No rubbing issues now in the rear. I am a M42 if that makes any difference.



                  this was with most of the interior out of the car and an empty trunk, as to why it is sitting up high in the back.


                  This was before the top hats, front euro trim, oem lip, new hood, euro plate and fogs so please don't mind how bad it looks.

                    Love this website for a visual diagram of the tire and rim.

                      That has all the info you need to know about tire sizing.
                      To be 100% clear, 50 here is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of tire width. 205/50 is a completely different sidewall height from, say, 305/50.
