VSII Calais supercharged
Hi all, I've got a VS calais with 16" Walkenshaw wheels. Current tyres are 215/60 16. Is it possible to go to 225/55 with Walkenshaw wheels? I've looked at the Miata tyre size calculator and it's fine without having to adjust the speedo but just wondering if they'll fit the rims. Also I'm a bit concerned that there is some slight inside tyre wear on the rears due to the IRS and have a feeling that wider tyres will wear quicker.

You should be fine, Ask your tyre dealer to make sure. With the wear you probably won't notice much difference.
