Tire Size ?

My 85.5 at this time has 15x8 fuchs on the front and 15x9 on the rear.
The current tire size 225/50/15 front and 245/50/15 rear. Dunlop no longer makes a match set in these sizes. I have tried tirerack to see if any other size tires can be installed on these rims, they where no help. Does anyone know what size tire can be installed on these rims without problems rubbing.

Thanks

Even 16" tire selection is getting weak. Most high performance street tires start at 17" sizes, and go up from there.

On the 16's, yes. But I don't think anyone makes a 45 series 15.
