Just FYI, 225 width tires will not clear the upper ball joint on a 2wd with 16x7 wheels unless the ET is less than 32 or you use a spacer. Even then it's dependent on tire section width which varies by manufacturer despite the listed tire size ( eg. 225). A set of forged CLK wheels can be had for about $200 and they substantially lighter then steel wheels. Chris.
