I don't think they should either. I have 225/55/16 on the front and don't have any problems.

My fronts rub on my car with 225/60/15 but only when i turn all the way and am going kinda fast. Shouldnt you have 50 series with a 16 rim? Even 55 series would drop you down a little. How bad does it rub?

I think your wheel diameter should be around 25". 225/60/15 should fit I think. But a 225/60/16 may be to large. A 225/50/16 would be a better fit.

where are yours rubbing?
i have 245-45-17s right now and i had to cut the edge of the fender off cause they would rub and when i turn they rub the front of the fender but its very minimal but Evil_F is right about the 50 series tires
