You can go to tirerack.com and they have suggested fittest for wheel widths.


I envision it looking silly like this:

I wouldn't do it. Way too much sidewall will look big on that car. Tall and skinny. If you are in a jam they will do I guess.

a 60 sidewall on 225's is more in line with what you'd see on an S10 pickup, not one of our cars.

Re: 225/60/16 on iroc wheels?...what is your opinions?
Pretty sure that's the size on my 88 GTA with the original gold rims. I bought the car with them on there. They look horrible. Don't do it. The only reason I haven't switched to the stock size is the tread is just too good to get rid of them now. I might sell them in the future but who buys ugly skinny 16 inch tires?
