Guys just wondering what the biggest size tyre you can fit on a standard EA Falcon GL rim is....

I currently have 185 cheese cutters on there but am looking at 215's......will they fit no problems?
What about 225's?

215s I have , no problems, im sure 225s go on, i dont know about any bigger. Ehh, I have the 15'' rim, do you ?

nope sorry 14 inch...but then again the EA GL I am currently driving has 14" rims fitted with 215's....Ford didnt change the GL rim from year to year did they?

i had 225/60 on front and they scrubbed out the front guards badly when you turned...this was on 15's and cos its dumped. back was fine though....i think someone here put 245's at the back and 225's at front with 14" 12 slotters...cant remember who though.....

215s were standard issue on Police and Taxi pack EAs. I don't know if 225s will fit, I suppose you could find out from a tyre dealer or something?
