will a 225 width tire fit on the stock 16x6.5 wheels? i know a 215 will but i'm trying to get the widest tires i can one these wheels. i'm getting ready to buy my tires for the auto-x season and i don't want to buy the wrong width and be screwed for the first event of the season. PLEASE HELP! :confused:

yes, although i cant say for every tire, many people around here run that setup. I am currently running toyo fz4's 225/50/16. they fit fine. Slight bulge but that is expected.

I just purchased a set of Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S 225/50/16 to replace them. Have not taken delivery of them yet though.

It's funny you're the first person on NASIOC since the WRX's came out in '01 to ask this question. Odd that is hasn't come up before.

Most of the autocrossers who race the WRX in stock form use 225-50 R16.

225/50-16 minimum wheel width is 6.0" so, yes they will fit

I'm running 225/50 R16 and they work great... a little bulge but nothing to be alarmed about! I just bought a second set they worked so well
