i am thinking bout putting 225/55r16 on my car, any probs with this besides the speedo being off by a couple MPH , i.e. ABS and so forth, i cannot afford 17" wheels yet so I am getting sport tires on my chrome directionals...steel pretty sharp looking though, thanks to all answers :feedback

Go a little wider. You won't notice a change in speedo.

I am running 245/50/VR16 Yokohama Avid V4s's all the way around, and the speedo is only off by like 5-7 MPH at 100 MPH. So, it is almost non existant at lower speeds (which is where most of us drive). I got them at tirerack.com, and they were only $96 each. They have AWESOME ratings. Here (www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Avid+V4S&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=45VR6V4S&fromCompare1=yes) is the link for the tires.
