Default Tire Help!

I bought a new set of 16 inch rims and need help finding a new set of tires. I know NOTHING about tires. Im honestly not even sure what size will be good. Right now on my 14s I have 185/60/14. Im lowered about two inches in the front and 1.8 in the back. I want the most amount of rubber possible without rubbing, Im thinking about a SLIGHT STRETCH, but nothing insane[/B], if possible. Here is a pic of my car:


Thanks guys!

Hey Rolla..
Well I did a little digging at toyo tires.. looks like you have a 98 corolla?
and here is what I found.. for the 98 'rolla.. for a 16" wheel.. tire would be a..
205/45ZR16 You'd have to have the tire shop test fit, to see if it would rub.. I don't think it would.. another 20mm = 0.75" is what the width would be with these new 205's in comparison to the 185's your running now.. if you have about an inch on either side of the current tire, to the wheel well.. you'd be fine with these new 205's

here's a link to the tire

http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_lines.../proxes_4.html

should work fine.. but test fitting a tire, would be good.. i love the proxes4 on the tc.. good ride, but good grip.. great handling

hope that helps ya..
