Highest tread without rub on stock 2.5i
As title states what is the most amount of tread I can use for a tire using stock 2.5i wheels. I know stock Potenzas are 205/55/16 and am interested in going up to 215 or 225, if possible without rubbing. What is the maximum?

Too late now but think it will really be bad in the snow? I'm used to running the RE92 sucktenzas and it can't be much worse. The SPTs were supposed to be all seasons though.

holy ****, you bought summer tires for the winter
perhaps you don't REALLY have to throw away the re92s, just keep 'em on for the winter and not drive like a moron.. and if it's too late to cancel/swap the order, just keep 'em til it stops snowing |

I don't know why I thought they were all seasons. I will just have to drive REALLY slowly and REALLY carefully. Pray for a light winter on the east coast. |
