don't grind the wheel you may throw it off balance or weaken its integrity
some have ground the caliber or you could use a small spacer say 5mm in front.
nice color are those drag's wheels haven't heard of them before.

yep they are DRAGs ....anyone on the TIRE SIZE?????

I searched around and most tire distributers say you 215-40-16...but they cost to much....any ideas on a cheaper size???

I just went with a 205/50/16 on my 16x8 rims..no problems in the front, but on the rear I had to do a little mod to the trailing arm..just a bit of trimming or if I had some 5 or 10 mm shims everything would would have been fine.

Toast3rOv3n

you think if i went with 205-50-16 on 7½'s i'd have that trailing arm problem???

and also is 205-50-16 apprx the same hieth is the oem tires ,i dont wanna mess up the speedo to much?

Thanks

215/45/16 -- 1/2% faster (smaller dia) closest to stock
205/45/16-- 2 1/2% faster """ '''''
if you go bigger than stock diameter 205/50/16 your speedo will be off even more than it is from dealer @3mph a faster tire (smaller dia) will help correct this and give more clearance when lowered this calculator is pretty helpful.

you shouldnt have any rubbing on the back at all my 17x8 +40 barely rubbed yours are lower offset and not as wide = more clearance

Stick with 205/50/16's and you will be fine. Have fun at NOPI. I did it 3 years ago with my toaster and had a blast. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

yeah guy I got a buddy that work at Maxxis Tires ,,,and I might paint my orange wheels and get free tire....I'll give it a try anyways

but yeah i'm going to get the 205-60-16

mike51392

on the wheels you should have left the lip chrome

Sorry but 205/60/16s will not fit. They are 2 inches taller than OE size and will rub in many places. Not to mention it will throw off your speedo and change your final gearing. 205/50/16 is less than 1/2 inch taller and will work fine.
