i am currently looking at the falken 912 tires for my stockers and came across this thread. and i decided to pull one in a stock 205 50 17 and one in a 225 45 17... then i measured the tire from the outside of the bead to the oppsite beads outside... 205 50 was 7.5 from outside to outide and then the 225 45 wasnt quite 7.75... does that really make that much of a differnce? basically each side of the side wall will have to move inward 1/8th inch on the bead of the tire?
maybe it just depends on the brand?
but anyways any idea if thats gonna be a hige deal?
i work at sears auto. so i decided to pull em and measure them. i feel like an ass for asking but its just so close.
what about 225/50/17 has anybody had any problems with that yet. i have read threw the thread and it might it the top of the strut but is there anybody else out there to verify it
My 215/50/17 Fuzion ZR's are a centimeter from rubbing the struts.

I only put them on there because the car is totalled (garage caught on fire ) and I wanted my wheels...but the insurance co said it needed wheels on it. I had a set of stock wheels and a random set of tires. So I combined them and now I get to keep my brand new wheels & tires. The car won't be driven again...just pulled onto the back of a flat bed

Your garage caught on fire, but the rims are OK? Strange!
