What is the stock tire size on your 2003 Kompressor?

Hi the original size is 195/65/r15, some one said the biggest wheel i can fit is 7Jx16 with a ET31/37.does that sound right they said they went in to a site Mercedes wheel sizes. Thanks

The size they gave you is 16 inch rim with a 31/37 offset. Going from a 195 to a 225 is quite a jump, you can probably make it work but it would take some work and spacers - doubt you could do it with the stock setup. Take a look at the link below - it's a helpful guide on wheel fitment and spacing/offset.

Is there a reason you wanted to get 225s?

Those 16 inch rims with 205 tires should work. Post some pictures once you install them
