well when i bought my tires, they went to give me crap about those aren't correct size of tires. but i told him i know, your computer is telling 215/60R15 but i want 225/50R15. But that will change your..........I want that size, end of discussion. That is how it kinda went..........LOL

The inch shorter tires have helped out of hole. i did loss about a mph on the top end but the price you pay. To give you an idea on the gear ratio. factory is 3.42 on the auto 2.4 after the new tires i am at 3.59
I realize this oldsman, but there are a couple reasons I would NEVER do this.

1) BIGGER wheel gap? Dear god know. Its big enough already

2) You are killing your gas mileage at highway speeds

Not worth it. Its a pretty cheese ball way to try get more accel.
