Yeah. It bulges out quite a bit but works alright on the street, it also rubbed a bit on my passenger side inner fenderwell. Any wider than that and you'll have no sidewall. Factory rims are only 6.5" wide.

Yeah, 225/50's will fit, but your handling will be worse. The stock 205's are actually a bit wide for the stock wheels. I liked 205's better than 225's on the stockers. Get some wider wheels with the wider tires.

225's look ridiculous on DSM 16" wheels, 205's already have too much buldge.

Haters. I kinda liked mine, but then again, it was back in 1997.
