225/50/18 too big?
Looking at buying a set of 225/50/18 blizzak's for winters to go on my stock tc wheels. Will these be too big? I'm mainly worried about them rubbing on the bottom of the strut towers..
Thanks for your input guys!

I'd say no stock 225/40r18 are 25.16in tall and 225/50r18 are 26.89in tall that's a lot

For winters you are better off buying 16" steelies and leaving then on the rims. 16" tires are substantially less expensive, you won't have to pay to get them remounted every season, don't have to worry about the ##s holes at the tire shop fing up your rooms by changing the tires twice a year and a narrower tire cuts through the show better than a wide one does.
