Wider tires on original slicer rims?

[Maxim]

Has anyone tried putting wider tires on original wheels? 225/50/16?

I havent ried them but am going to put them on my car and yes 100% sure they work Ive seen many people on this forum with them.

I have Dunlop A2's on my stock slicers with the size 225/50. I like them a lot and the handling is much better. I also like the fact that the gear ratio is better for a bit more lower end.

speedo changes? Anyone have a link that compares sizes and that can give me info that I can comprehend? I thought I saw one that visualy showed the tire changes compared to stock

Sorry, just found it on next post, but still wonder about the speedo

I've got 225/55 which should have little effect on the speedo as the sidewall is closer to the stock 215/60.
