My brother runs 225 hoosiers on his protege (15x6),
and atleast the victoracer 225 wasn't as wide as the
hoosier 225, so it should fit.  Of course, we had to
drive 45 minutes away to the only tire guy (a fellow
autocrosser) who would even try to put them on.  BTW I
know of an insanely fast ES car that wears 225's on 5"
rims.
