Ed Abbott told me that a 225 tire is too wide for these cars- 215 is preferred (I would guess due to front end geometry). The problem is that in a 16" size, a 215/50/16 is probably the best size, but only BFG makes a tire (only 1!) this size. Dan from Accelerated Response says he tried 225's on his 88 9kt, but they rubbed pretty good. Others say they have fit 225's without rubbing (especially on newer 93+ models-larger wheel wells), so it might come down to individual tires having slightly different actual widths.
