Ok, the bolt pattern is 5x100...upgrading to 16x7 tires wont really mess with your speedo (because when you go to 50 series the overall diameter of the tire stays the same even thoug your going to 16" rims) and they arent much heavier than stocker 15"s. Right now i run 195/50-R16 but i plan on going to 215/40-R17 (17x7's). Anyway, on our struts the most you can go is 215 unless you go to SRT struts.

well the 225 leaves like 1/4 in between the top of the tire and the bottom of the struts .. there seriously is not a whole lot of play.. ill try and get pics up soon.. my camera is acting stupid

Yeah i'd like to see a picture too, cuz i thought the 225 would rub against the strut perch thingy...but if it doesnt than that would just be great news!
