im loooking at these euro t/a by bf goodrich with short sidewalls for my 15x7 inch rims im wondering wil i have any problems running 245/50/hr15s, will it bulge too much? will it be too small of a sidewall that their will be a lot of wheel gap? thanks for the help

 

oh yea also like how much wider are 245s then say 225s an inch, im just curiouse, half inch per 10 ?

 

I had a set of those sitting in my garage for about 2 years... I bought them used for $100 and ended up selling them for $150. They'll fit the stock 15x7 rims but they'll throw off the speedometer and they'll bulge on both sides. Not exactly ideal. Also they have a horrible wear rating. I wouldn't waste money on them. Get a set of 235/60's and you'll have no problems.

 

You won't want those on a 7 inch wheel. 245 is the width in mm. Divide by 10 to get centimeters then divide by 2.54 to get inches. Or just divide 245 by 25.4. FYI sidewall height is 245 x 50 percent(50 series tire) 245 x .5 =122.5. 122.5/25.4 = 4.82 inches of sidewall. Stock height 215 x .65 = 139.75. 139.75/25.4 = 5.5 inches of sidewall.

 

They will look very small on the stock ride height also. If you use lowering springs it will help, but I would stick with say 235/60/15 also. That is what I'm gonna run next on my 15x7 snowflakes.

 

Technically they will fit but be aware that your tire will be stretched on ur rim making it look funny ....
