I have never seen a white letter in that size? Why do you want that size? I have solid white leter BFG's on my RS 235/60/15 and they look killer on my 15" silver RS wheels.

Re: 225/50r15 OWL?

I had an 84 Z28 back in `88. I just bought another (5.0 HO) and i put 225 50`s on my original 84 and it looked awesome,It Lowered the car a tad and tires were a little fatter without looking out of place....Looked like it could have been factory. Just want to re create the look..if at all possible. I know 225/50`s exist but wondered about OWL

Thanks! Like I said I have never seen a OWL or even solid WL 225/50/15. I get what your saying and I'm sure it looked good. The 225/50/15 is a low profile tire and they never seem to make them in white letter. I do remember back in the mid 90's BFG did make a 225/50/16 whtiewall LOL! it was for the wire wheel guys back when they were all the rage.
