Anyone know if this size can fit on the lancer (ralliart) ???

 

what offset ?

 

I'm quoting this, just because it made me laugh

And no, it will not fit, even on aftermarket rims. The sidewall will be way too thick and there's no way it'll clear the rear fender, or the front one on corners or a lowered car. You might be able to make a 225/40/16 tire work on aftermarket 16x7 wheels, but it'd be tight.

 

why does it make you laugh ?

 

I think its still maxed at 215.....I am having 215/40/17s on a 17in, 8J with an offset of +34. I have to roll in the fender, have a negative camber of-1 (which is okay because that is my setting), and the wheel clearance is just millimeters away from the fender and about 8 to 9 millimeters to the rear trailing arm.....

 

Tires don't have offsets.

 

ya, I figure it was something like that. I have to admit, that was a noob question I asked, I should have known that the offset on the wheel wouldn't have change anything here. I spent so much time looking on this forum about wheel and tire size that fit on our car.

Joyrider, are your new tires 225 ?

 

nope, 215-45-16.. but I was having a deal on Toyo RA-1 225-50-16, they will be on www.cadl.qc.ca soon

 

psh.. i run 225/45/17's with a rear rolled fender and a hammered in wheel liner to get the rubbing to the minimum. However i can only run specific tires for the rear though, right now i have all seasons in back (Falken Ziex) and Federal cheapo summer tires up front which have surprisingly good stick on dry and decent in the rain. The falkens work because they have more of a rolled sidewall-to-groundside transition making it less of a "right angled" so minimal contact. Yes it took me 600$ worth of tires to find the right combo, but hey I now have enough spare tires to last me over 2 years...

 

i fitted 225/50/16 they rubbed on the rear fender and turning was alright the rubbing was when i hit speed bumps note this was on stock rims and stock hieght , but the rears do rub on the lower control arms , i had better results with 225/40/16 falken azenis no rub there

 

i have 215-40-17's and they rub on the rear fenders when i hit a big bump.

 

I'm rather surpised a 225 works on a 6" wide rim. I would think the sidewall would be pulled in so much that it'd lose stiffness.

 

i got 225/40/17 and i'm just fine...i haven't notice anything bad happening...except for my front tires being a little worn i had to make parking spots with rubber instead of paint hahaa
