225s on 9" wheels do not work out well.
I am OK with running 245/50s, a bit more sidewall bulge but it made the speedo more accurate on my 928. This is a Camaro and Corvette size that will be around for a while.

I posted this a while back:
I know this is probably not the right post for this question, but indirectly related. Has anybody tried to mount a 225/45 ZR16 on the front OEM Turbo S rim? The size difference is very small, but wondering if this will screw up the front to rear geometry. If it is not a problem, then there is a very good deal on the Nexen N3000 tires from Onlinetire.com. These are nice ZR rated tires (340 AA A) for the price. The rears are correct at 245/45 ZR16, but they don't have a 50 series for the front. All four for $335.00 shipped is a good deal on these tires. You have to pay tax in CA though. It says that they are both W & Y speed rated. I have no experience with this tire, but specs look good for the price. I am sick of the rediculous road noise from my Bridgestones even though they are nearly new. I hate them and want to get them off soon.
I have had them for six months now and no complaints at all. Seem to be a great tire at an incredible price. Bought a set for the girlfriends MB and they are good as well.
