Tire sizing for a Balacco

Has any one sized the following under their 6?
205 55 15
225 50 15
Looking at Michelin pilot Exalto or Pirelli P zeros for 85% track use. Currently use 205 50 15 P7 that have flat spotted.
Thanks in advance for help

205/55-15s are no problem on a stock GTV6 with stock rims. I have used 225/50s with great success. However they BARELY fit, if you don't have really good suspension bushings, hopefully poly bushings and at least 1 deg negative camber up front they will rub.

I think rim is a Gotti 15x6. Bushings are stock, excellent shape but vehicle height is lowered.

Agree with Greg re tyre size. Based on your rim width, you should stick with the 205x55x15. The larger tyre is too big for the rim width.

205/55/15 Michelin pilot Exaltos from Costco wholesale it is.
Thanks for saving me the many headaches trying to fit Pirelli under the fenders.
This is a great forum! Thanks!
