No, this is not an acceptable swap.
Yes, you can replace a 215/55R16 tire with a 225/60R16 tire, but there are important considerations. The 225 tire is wider and has a larger sidewall, which may affect handling, speedometer accuracy, and clearances in your vehicle's wheel wells. It's advisable to check your vehicle's specifications and consult a tire professional to ensure compatibility and safety.
Maybe, but it's quite a bit wider. Check for rubbing very carefully.
225/55R16
Yes, it can.
No, this is an unacceptable swap. If you wish to go to a 50 series tire you should install 225/50-16 which is and excellent swap.
what is the diameter difference from a 205/65/16 vs. 225/60/16
Can a 225/60R 16 tire replace a 235/70R 16 tire.
Mazda RX-8
205/60-16 or 245/50-16. Either of these sizes is compatable with your 225/55-16.
The 225/65R16 tire may not be suitable for a 2002 Lexus GS300, as this vehicle typically requires a tire size of 225/55R16 or 225/50R17, depending on the specific model and trim. Installing a tire with a different aspect ratio could affect handling, speedometer accuracy, and overall performance. It's best to consult the owner's manual or a tire professional for the correct specifications before making any changes.
The OEM size is 205/70-15. But I assume you want to stay with a 16" tire. If that be the case a 205/65-16 is much closer to the OEM size than the 225 tire.
it will fit but the tire is wider and is taller in diameter. Your speedometer will be off.
