alright awesome, heard that 265 was the largest, but i measured and it looks like it'll be too tight. ive got ultra low spring and running 15" x 6". 65 wall height is probably the go as thats the wall size most people are running on 15's i believe?

Wasn't this covered about a fortnight ago?

'65' (assuming you're talking about a 205/65R15) is the aspect ratio, the percentage of tyre width, so a 225/65R15 is a taller tyre than a 205/65R15.

I have superlows in the rear of my EL, which have also been chopped and I'm running a 265/50/15 perfectly no rubbing at all, even with a full car.
