                I think it would be fine. the BFGs have pretty beefy sidewalls.

                  My wheels are 7.5" wide and thats pushing it. The link in my sig take you to my for sale ad for them which has pictures of them in it. Would not look good stretched another 1/2 inch.

                    I have those too. They are great wheels. you should at least roll the front fenders a bit though.

                      with rotas run 225s. i have g-force sprots on my car. 205-50-15 and i love them. slight stretch so the sidewall is stiff. awesome tires. just ordered a set in 16 for my new wheels. a 55 series wouldnt be as stretch and would be huge sidewalls. you wont regret 225-50s though. plus you'll have more respect from the "men" with your "manly sized" tires..:p

                          They have the same size sidewall, both sizes will ride the same.

                          It's quite simple, really. 205's if you don't mind stretch and don't want to roll the fenders. 225's if you want a meaty look and are willing to roll the fenders WELL.
