i have 16x8.5 and am runnin 225/45s

td5turbo · 12-22-2006, 09:12 AM

215/50 would be best.

Jung918 · 12-22-2006, 09:16 AM

Hankook makes 225/45

~4N~ · 12-22-2006, 09:48 AM

If you don't want fender gap in the front, then you'll need a sidewall bigger than 50.

And call it a day.

jrocslider · 12-22-2006, 11:12 AM

205/50/15 ftw

Jefferson · 12-22-2006, 01:34 PM

Yup 205-50-15
My neighbor has sportmax (I assume thats the wheels your looking at) and thats what he put on his wheels. It gives a bit of stretch in case your wondering

~4N~ · 12-22-2006, 08:34 PM

Buy my 205/50/15's!

RHDintegXSI · 12-22-2006, 10:14 PM

thanks guys..i just installed my suspension today..the thing is pretty damn low..im leaning towards the 205/50/15 hopefully that will be enough where there wont be a wheel gap up front.

btw has anyone ran a 205/55/15?

jobestudios · 12-30-2006, 04:02 AM

good choice, rt615 is an awesome street tire

Typeone · 12-30-2006, 12:27 PM

Convert the x 8 into MM

8 inches = 203.2 MM, a tire similar to the size of the rim would be a 205.

If you want a streched look, go with a 195.

If you want a wide look, goo with a 215, or 225.

*Grant* · 12-31-2006, 01:38 AM

looks real good man.

coupelove626 · 12-31-2006, 01:43 AM

I WOULD ROCK 205/50r15 FEDERAL TIRES. For some reason, they are wider than other tires.

My car came with federals when I bought it, i just figured Id burn right through them before I got something better, but I actually liked drifting with them.

J.Silvia · 01-02-2007, 02:50 PM

i would suggest atleast 215's. 205s to small you need BEEF
