Hi there, new member! hello everyone!
anyways, my first noob question...

Ive got an 07' Mazda3 5door, and i just bought 4 225/50/17 goodyear eagles, got a great deal so i had to buy them..but will they fit on stock 17's with stock suspension?? i need to know asap, because my current tires have about 20% left!! im curious if they are too wide for the 6.5''rim or if they'll rub at full lock.

Thanks!!

well i can say that i have bought eagles gt day ago and i got 215/45/17 on a stock 6.5" rim.. they fit perfectly... 225 on a 6.5"rim is a little too much..

I gotta say I'm with kulka89 on this.. 225/50R17 is too much for a 6.5" wide rim. Try out the wheel/tire comparison tool at www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp and see for yourself that the tire diameter will be too wide and the tire cross section will be too wide (for comfort, anyway). 205/50R17; 17 x 6.5, 52 :: 225/50R17; 17 x 6.5, 52
