225/50/16 Kumho MXs

Will these fit on the stock 16" MSC wheels on stock height without rubbing?

I was wondering the same thing. I want to get them for my stock MCS and ask the same question, but no replys.

I think they will be fine on a stock MCS, but want to be sure.

I just put these on my car and I like them so far. Less than 300 miles of time, but a great improvement on the nosie and harsh ride. Kumho ECSTA SPT They are just a bit shorter than the stock Dulops over all stock is 24.4" Kumho's are 24.1"

215 should be fine, not sure about the 50% sidewall height. I'm running 225/50/15 tires and they do rub a bit in the rear on the fender flare. I'll be trimming that soon.

With a Dremel or sharp knife. Or you could take the approach I'm currently taking: just drive it until the noises go away. :-)
