Is there any problem putting p225 instead of p215 on stock 97 SE rims?

 

I asked this last week and nobody replied. I'm not alone. I'm trying to put on a 225/50/16 anyone tried this?

 

have not tried this since I have the 15" rims for my GLE. These are 205/65 15". I know the 6.5" rims for the SE come with stock 215/55 16's on these. I have read that a few members of this board have tried this --and it has worked (using the 225/50 16)---and the tires they recommend and is the most popular is the dunlop sp 5000.
check the search function and I am sure you can find some posts regarding that. hope that helps.

I have put 225/50-16 Dunlop SP5000s on my stock 16" rims and they fit very well. There will be a slight bulge, but I actually like the look, looks beefier. These Dunlops are also great! I have had them for about 5000 miles now. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks, for the reply. Do you know if it affected the speedo accuracy.

 

I'm about to have these installed today.
I'll give you my impressions.... If I ever come back home from driving.
