Red has 205/55, which is sorta pushing it width wise.

The PO of Whitey had 215/65 on her, but they rubbed pretty good on the fenders during hard cornering.

| Ive been running 225 50 15 on 7" phonies since Ive had the car. Even with stock (m030) springs they cleared the strut assembly. If you are running 6" phone dials Id go with a 205. It will mess up your speedo a bit but 205 50 15 is a good size with lots of tire choices available. |

just a quick question for you guys who have done this.....
will the 205/55 r15 on the stock 15 phonies on a 924s mess up the spedo?
or will it still read the correct speed?
thanks

With the 215/65's on my old car, the speedo said 80, but the cop said I was doing 94.
Luckily, he couldn't prove the radar was calibrated properly when I fought it in court.
