    225-60-16 has a circumference of 83.62 in

    235-55-16 has a circumference of 82.21 in
    Difference of -1.41 in

    235-60-16 has a circumference of 85.13 in
    Difference of +1.51 in


    I would personally go with a bigger sidewall to fill in the wheel gap.


    Check this website out, it's where I got these measurements.

    i would go 245/50/16 but i dont really want a bigger gap in the wheelwell... if they made a 245/55 that was affordable id do that, but no dice so far... so thats why im thinking maybe 235/55/16...

    Just don't take your car to discount tire, they'll try to sell you rims for a lawnmower trailer.

    then your going to make it worse with a 245/50s.
    There a inch smaller than stock and you will be lower to the ground.


    but they do fit on stock rims.
