Any lowered 4th Gen running 225/55R16?

Slightly wider than stock. Any issues with clearance?

I assume you're referring to acceleration? If yes, 16" would actually make you faster(if you were using 17" or 18" previously). Then again, it depends on the weight of your tire + wheel.

I was using before 15' 205/65/15 now I have 225/50/16, top speed is slow only 134,5 mph. I would expect 145 at least. does 225/55/16 increase top speed? or does it rob the power in middle revs?

it won't rob u of anything but it will take away a little acceleratoin and raise your top speed, that's only if you have the power though to get up that high.

Depends on why your car stopped accelerating. If you were at red line in high gear, you are "gear limited" Changing the diameter of the wheel package will affect top speed. If you were not at red line you are "power limited" changing the tire size will not change top speed.

No, it doesn't.... in fact it might make your acceleration slower, very slightly..... I hope you didn't run 134 mph on the highway?

Does it depends from is it automatic? I have aut. I think it is 4 speed.
When it stopped accelerating in top speed was it from lack of power or
from auto gearbox?
How much the top speed raises?
