before i went with 205/60/15's on my virgos i had 215/60/14's on 240 steelies, bear in mind my 142 has lowering spings. the 215's came right to the edge of the fenders on the fronts and almost to the edge of the rear, thats what it looked like at least. they were a nice width while driving but hell to turn from a stop, i'd bet a 205 or 215/55/16 would look real good and drive great and not change the spedo much.

i would not want to paralel park a with a set of 225's unless i had power steering, i had 225/60/15's on my 2 old 240's and they were great. both had power steering though, good luck on the decision
