im in the market for new tires and have been doing research on going with a wider, shorter tire. the wheels are 16x7. im currently running 205/50 and i really don't like them. i'd like to get the diameter of the tire closer to stock. if i run 225/40r16 the diameter is just off from stock. but im unsure as to what the widest tire i can go..any input will be helpful..

btw, i've already used discount's tire size calculator, but it doesn't really help much. if you have experience in doing this, share your knowledge

On a 7 inch wide rim, I'd go no wider that 225.
Stock is 205/55/16, and you wanna get as close to that?

225/50-16's will sit almost at exactly the same as 205/55-16
