won't that be a shorter tire though ?

shorter and wider than stock right ?

yes it will fit, if you have prob's w/ the quad, take them off and reverse them, they will do the same thing still and allow you to clear a 11" of tire w/ the stock B-spacing

235/60/15 would be a better choice, as it retains stock diameter and it slightly wider

car has 16" pony wheels on it now but I have a set of 10holes in my garage so I'm gonna throw them on only for the track. I think the tires now are 225/40R16

225/40/16 is WAY too small... they should be 225/55/16

If you wanna go bigger on the ponies, go 245/50/16
