I bought the wrong size tires...well....i have 225/50/16's...and i ordered 205/50/16's....really dumb mistake...but should i pay for shipping to return them and get the 225's??? I don't race....just drive normally....but i do know wider is better...how bout in this situation?? how big a difference??

lowered, or not?        Rims, or not?    These are fundamental parts of the equation.

Im gonna assume its lowered, and he has SSR's so probably like what 7 or 8 inches wide? I say pay for the shipping to get the 225's, you will regret keeping the 205's.

kumhos even run narrow. &nbsp;send them back and get the 225's. &nbsp;you'll be happy you did.

If you're not going to race, and you have stock rims. (6.5inch wide) Then just stay with the 205s. Your 205's will naturally be lighter than the 225. Probably cheaper as well. Your side wall will be shorter than the 225, but who cares. You're not going to race with those anyway.
Your speedo will be off though. Stock is 205/55/16 isn't it?

Stock is actually 15" rims...not sure on the size of tire though...

i noticed today i got 205's on the back and 225's on the front....damn....stupid me....

anyways yeah i don't race....just a cruiser.....and i am contemplating on just staying with the 205's...cause i am in the hole as is....hella in the hole and i want to get out...buying shocks waasn't in mind but has to be done......so yeah though....205's alright then...
