225/50 has been done but its getting wide for a 6" wide rim. I would go with a 215 as my widest but like I said it has been done.

Hmm, my pizza's are 6.5" wide, yet I don't think more than 215 would be very good on them.

no pizza is 6.5" wide. Read the back where it's casted in the size. It'll read 15x6.0JJ. Most Crabs and the shelby rims are 6.5" wide. Like above a 225/50 will fit but isn't ideal. Heck I run a 205 on my 6.5" crab and it looks good and handles great.

I must have a brain bug, I was just measuring them on the balancer on Saturday, but okay, I'm sure you're correct.

[GLHNSLHT2]

sure across the whole thing they're 6.5" but bead to bead and the way the tire is sized they're only 6".

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

205/50-15 is the biggest you should go.

If you go with 205 go 60/15
