    I'd like something a bit lower profile...
    I can't find anything in a 235/50-15 or 235/55-15

    Anyone ever seen or used 225/50-15s?

    yeah.

    the 225/50 will be shorter than stock 225/60. That's why I am asking if anyone has used them or seen them on a car.

    I can figure the percentage that the speedo "should" be off, but How do they look?

    IMHO, too small for a Stang.... probably more like the early 90's small rim/small tire combo......

    It would look, oh, how do I say, OFF???!?!?!??!?!?

    FYI: All SVO's came with a 225/50 series (225/50-16's). They look really nice on a lowered car but they do look a little small on a stock ride height.

    SVOs should all have to be lowered or have 17s...and be lowered.

    On a 16" rim, yes... not on a 15" rim

    what brand are those 235/50s?

    That's kinda what I'm looking for.

    Interesting thing... according to tirerack.com AND Dunlop's websites... a 7" rim is optimal for a 245/50-15. That's the size they use to make measurements on the tire.
