Just curious if anyone has tried this fitment at stock height. Thanks.

It will def fit I had 205/50-17s with a lot of room but why?? Is this a winter setup if so then go with a 50 or 55 sidewall

I was just curious because I may be able to get some used tires at a pretty good price since I can't find a decent deal on some steelies.

Forget about them fitting, going that much taller will kill your gas mileage, kill power, throw your speedometer way off, and could make your abs not work properly. I would highly recommend against tires that tall.

That's like SUV tall...

Yeah screw that nonsense. You own a car, not a monster truck

I have considered all of the above and they are moot points.

And I believe you just implied that stancing my car for street cred (because we all know its not a performance thing) would be acceptable but a bigger tire and some lift (especially during winter) would be ridiculous. Thanks for your much needed input.

I didn't imply anything. Never once mentioned anything stance/fitment related. You even know what implied means?

You don't need a tire that tall for snow. I see people using 205/50r16s while being lowered and have no issues.

When did I IMPLY that I NEEDED that tall of tire?
Thanks again for another useless reply on this thread.
