Blizzak LM22 tires size 225-50-17 -- will they fit?

windmill · 01-08-2004, 10:29 AM

Hey guys,

The truck with my Bridgestone Blizzak LM22 225-45-17 tires was delayed due to weather and may be a couple days late :evil: . However, the tire place has some Blizzak 225-50-17's in stock, and they're cheaper!!

Will they fit without any problems? Is anyone else running tires of these dimensions on the stock rims?

Thanks!

you realize that your speedo will be off?

They will fit, but I don't recommend you do that.
Just wait for the truck. You may exp some rubbing when cornering hard.

I ended up getting some Blizzak WS-50's which (I think) were 235-45-17. They *almost* matched the physical dimensions of the 225-45-17 LM-22's that I was waiting for. Besides, the poll in this forum seems to indicate that about 1/2 of the people out there with winter tires are running this size.

I'd recommend the WS-50's to anyone. They provide decent snow and ice traction (so far, at least)
