tires

I've got 215 tires in the rear, and 205 in the front on 15" fuchs. can I put 225 on the rear and 215 in the front without changing wheels?

I've got Toyo Proxies on my Fuchs. I notice that they are significantly wider than the Pirellis I had on phone dials on my old 'S'.

I'll have to check what sizes they are...

Fuchs original style or Fuch Cookie Cutters?

If 15x5.5 Fuchs, you should be able to run 205s okay.

If 15x7 Fuchs, you can run 225s (widest). They just might bulge a bit.

What brand of tires are you going with? I went with the Fuzions, but am regretting not going with Yoko EVS 100s, or even some Falken Azenis...

I have 225's on 6's They are a "little" pinched but they made it through the season okay. I have 215's on 7's and they look right, I am sure you could go to 225's and hardly notice the difference
