as discussed before on the other site, they do fit, just barely, here are the pics. bf-goodrich g-force sport 225/60/15. they are .86" wider and .94" taller than stock 205/60/15

they do a rub a little in the front and the back. keep in mind this is with eibach lowering springs, with regular height springs , it would be all good.













its like staring down the barrel of a .357





in front of the front wheel (it rubs the plastic rivet a little)


rear of the rear tire, tight on the index finger (its close but no rub)


in front of the rear tire (it rubs and you hear it, about 5 times now)


they handle awesome though and hook very good on the street, feel very comfortable, especially on the freeway and do alright at the track. i am happy with them and would buy them again if i wasnt going to go 17" by then.

Looks like you need the front fender widening mod that I had to do. Although if you took the fenders off and "carefully" put them back on it may bo OK also.

I dont think you would have an issue in the rear of the tire if the offset was not stock

take the wheel off, and get a 5 pound sledge and knock the inner frame rail in some where it rubs.
you might be able to re-adjust the front bumper cover and move it forward about a 1/4 of an inch or so, wouldnt be very noticable but would definately take care of the rubbing.

Im curious if this rim and tire combo will fit a caravan first generation?
My thinking is if it fits a spirit, it will fit a mini..?No?
Thanks. Ryan

would definetly fit even better, my car i lowered 1" all the way around, without the drop i wouldnt have any rub, but it would look like a 4x4 sitting so high, lol. it appears to be stock height now, 1" drop plus 1" overall taller tires.
