Hey, guys what is the widest tire you can fit on the stock 200sx?

I'm assuming you mean on the stock 200SX rims. Depends on which ones you have. I would not go any wider than a 205 on the 6 inch wide rims. 195 on anything narrower than that.

I ran 225/50's on my stock turbo rims for about 4 years with absoulty no problems. Filled out the wheels quite nice, and gave it a nice wide footprint. The side walls were a little shorter too than the tall stock 195/60s.
I have 205/55 on there now, and with the lowering springs I'm getting some pretty good tire wear on the rears from the - camber...which I didn't have with the 225/50s. As soon as the current tires wear out.....I'm gonna bump it back up to the 225/50s.
