I ran 225/50/15 on the stock 7 spoke aluminum wheels. IMO, 215/40/16 will look like ass! I'm running 225/50/16. To be hornest, I don't think you'll benefit from running a lower profile wheel like this. You might have worse handling, steering response actually. I've ran the Cartest program using different wheels, there's almost no difference as far as acceleration concern going from 15" wheels to 18" wheels.

Yeah, but 225 on the stock 6.5 inch rim... Isn't that going to, I don't know, fit strangly? Like too much width over the rim? My 225/50's bow out in a rather wierd way (even with 40psi). It looks neat, and works fine on the SP Sport 5000's because they are all season anyway and the rubber "let's go" before the maximum force of the sidewall is reached anyway, but won't I be loosing cornering force with that sort of "triangle" sidewall shape? (I may not be explaining this well)
