Tire/Wheel fitment (yes, another one of these posts)
Greetings!

Currently, I've got some Datsun 14x6 wheels, with 195/60-14 Falken Azenis RT-215's on them. They're bald as can be, and were on the car when I bought it.

I like to do a lot of lapping days and autocross events, but this spring will mark the first season of my driving this car at these events.

Basically, I just scored an awesome deal on some Hoosier A3S05 tires that I'd l ike to use, but they're 225/50-14.

In my thinking, the 14x6 rims (I don' know the offset yet) that are currently on the car will be a little too narrow for the Hoosiers.

So, I'm thinking of some Konig Rewinds, in 14x7, with a -9mm offset. The tires fitting the wheels won't be a problem, but [color=green:47b4faee93]getting to the point of this thread, will these tires (225/50-14) actually fit?[/color:47b4faee93]

There are no inner fenders in the front, and I don't mind doing a little bodywork, since I want to get the car repainted anyway. Does anyone here have experience with tires this wide? I've seen people with 15x8's, and 16x8's, so I'm inclined to think that this won't be a problem, but I'm not 100% sure, which Is why I'm asking the question.

Thanks for your time!
