    Hello,

    I would like to change my tires to get some increase in the floor clearance, I currently have 55's (the stock size is 60) but I would like to know if I will have a problem if I upgrade them to 225/65R16?

    Thx!

    Only problem I see is the speedo would read wrong. DO they sell 65's for cars? I feel that is only a Light truck size

    They do, many cars and minivans take a 65 sidewall.

    You are better off just buying some stock 225/60's, just get some with more meat on them and you'll be fine. 225/65's will just look terrible with a huge sidewall and your speedo will be even more off.
