Tire Size

I have a simple question. My Grand Prix SE takes 205/70/R15 stock. I want to know if 225/70/R15 will be alright to work. I know they'lll fit but I'm wondering if the tires will rub when turning in the front. Help me out here? thx
 


youre going to want to run a 225/65R15 sized tire to stay close to stock overall diameter. 225/70R15 is a little taller than stock, throwing off your speedo and giving more chance of rubbing.

shouldnt rub, since its not a big difference when changing width.

but I would also go with a 225/65
 
yeah, i know it probably wont rub, but given that the suspension in the rear might be fairly worn you never know.
 
Right. I would be happy to run a 225/65 however i cnt find then around my area. And i've already strengthened the rear shocks because I got tired of drop out and sagging because of my 150 lbs speaker box in the trunk. Thanks for your answers guys.
