Will the 225/50-15 fit into the NB?

Thanks,
Gab

Yes, but why? That's a tall tire.

It is more of a oop! I was looking for more meat on the road but cliked the one below the one I want i.e. 215! I am more worry about rubbing the fenders than anything else. These are going to be for street use and should not matter than much!? Thanks Thomas!

I run 215/35r/18 on my 2003 and have no issues with rubbing the fenders.

Great! Thanks! I have no idea you can put 18" in the NB. It must fill the wheel to the top! Does it ride very rough?

Couldn't tell ya compared to other NBs... This is the only NB I've driven. It's not near as rough as my 92 B&T was with the KYBs run on 4/5.

There are pics out on my cardomain site.

I have 225/50/15's on my 93. The next set I buy will be a 45 series tire. The 50 series is just too tall.

I run 215/45/16 on the street, and I like it. When I replace my street tires (soon!) I'll get 215's again. They seem to fill up the wheel wells a bit better.

Hurray for slightly longer final drive and better fuel economy!

[channelmaniac]

Heh... I find that with the 215s on the car the speedo is right in line with how fast the GPS says I'm going. The 205s make it off a little.

215/50/15 on 40 offset 15x7 were fine on our 92 track car. The 225/50/15 is a tall tire and will rub on the front fenders on an NA without fender mods.
