Tire question

Would 225/60/16 fit on the SVX without rubbing? I currently have 225/50/16 on my SVX now. Thanks for the help.

Why do you want 60's?

I might suggest 205/60-16's for winter tires but 225/60-16's are just too tall.

245/45-16's are the same height as stock but about 3/4" wider.

its because of your off set... if you dont do much performance driving you could got with that tire size if you do alot of highway driving you will save gas... and i fit 245/35R20 on my car... and if you are looking for a cheeper tire go with 205/55/R16
