Stock wheels 205s....
with just a little figuring and patience you can make 7" wheels fit with 225s... the rear is the space issue, not front... I have run 205x50s on 5.5s and 7s all around on a narrow bodied car as well as 225x50 on 7" rims all around on a narrow bodied car. but for a completely stock car, 205s on 5.5s or 6s are the limit. |

I have a friend with a narrow body and he runs 225x50-15 on 7" fuchs ......... I believe he had to tug on the rear fenders a tad to prevent rubbing. |
