Will 225/50/16 inch Victoracers fit on stock 16\" wheels?

I figure they would since Tirerack says they'll fit 6-7.5 inch wheel. Question is will they rub? 1.8" drop from Progress springs w/ Eibach shocks. 2001 ZX3.

Want to use these for autocrossing in FSP class.

Thanks.

Will they fit on the wheel....yes...we have run them on our stock ride height Focus with the 6" 15's.

Will they rub with your lowered car...I don't know as as I said our car is stock ride height.

I have some on my Contour wheels 6.5's and they do rub in the rear slightly. You can probably get away with it or better yet get a very small spacer. They may not rub with the 6's though.

Biggest problem I see with them is gearing, they will kill your gearing whether or not they fit is up in the air.

I have a decent drop (SVT intrax on a gutted ZX3) and I have run 225/50-16 R1s on the stock 16 with no rubbing in the rear, and only at full lock in the front.
