    Toyo Proxes RA 1 225/50/15 on 7 R wheel

    I just purchased some 225 Toyo RA 1 to put on a 7 R wheel. I was wondering if anybody has any experience running these on the rear of the narrowbodied car mine is a 71 911. These tires seem to run a bit wider than the average tire. I currently have 225 5015's Falken tires with no issue but they are somewhat more narrow.

    Depends on the car, but I suspect it's going to be tight. Better to rub on the inside than the outside when considering spacers...

    I have a 71 t with 7r wheels all the way around. I mounted Toyo 888's 225 x 50 x 15 all the way around. 15mm spacers on the rear and 18 mm spacers on the front. I had to roll the drivers FRONT fender.
