215's are the stock size...... I had 225's on my SE wheels.... no problem..... the SE wheels are a little narrow for the 225's .... so they look a little fat on the rim

The stock rims are only 7" wide, which is 1/2" too narrow for a 225, but I suppose they'd "fit".

Actually, the stock rims are only 6.5" wide.

There are a lot more performance tires in 225/50/16 than the stock size. I ended up with Toyo Proxes 4's in the stock size and I love them.
