Wheel Size & Tyres
Discussion
I have a 5.0 Chimaera with PAS and from reading messages on this board understand the front tyres should be 225/50 15's and the rear's 245/45 16's. Well the rears are correct but the fronts are 205/55 15's for some reason. Any ideas apart from 205's are mabe more common?
More importantly would it be ok to go to 225's on the same wheels when I next change tyres?

As far as I know the 205/55ZR15s are only fitted when the car has not got power steering (or because they are cheaper?). The correct size for the front on a 500 with power steering is 225/50ZR15. If you want to go the 16" F&R route then the fronts are 225/45ZR16 (rack stops must be fitted).
