Just brainstorming on 16-in wheel/tire setups. After a bit of research I found these wheels. any mistakes you find please correct:

Rota slipstream 16x7 + 40, under 17 lbs
Enkei RPF1 16x7 +35, 13.7 lb
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1
OZ Ultralegerra, 14.8 lb
XXR 002 16x8
Motegi Traklite 16x7 +40, i forget the weight...i'm sure under 15 lbs
Konig Forward (white/pink, and black/red)
Konig Britelite 16x7 +40, 15.3 lb

Unfortunately I could not find all the info for offset and weights. I try to find the lightest wheels possible for performance's sake.

205/55/16 tires (-1.33% odometer):

toyo proxes 4, 20 lb
ziex 512, 21 lb
toyo t1r, 21.9 lb
BStone RE760, 22 lb
Yoko s drive, 23 lb
BFG g force Sport, 23 lb
Starspec, 24 lb
BStone RE050A, 24 lb
Falken FK452, 24 lb


215/55/16 (+.39% odometer):

Conti DW, 21 lb
ziex 512, 21 lb
Proxes 4, 22.1 lb
t1r, 23.2 lb
RE760, 25 lb
s drive, 25 lb
g force sport, 25 lb
FK452, 25 lb

 

konig britelites can be hard to find...I went with backbones.

 

I ran ultralagerras for a long time, loved them. 16x7 +35 with 205/55's

I ran the dunlop 8000's , which turned out to be an excellent tire for the price (sixty-something a piece)

id recommend them or RPF 1's over the others

 

I am interest to see one on 15s.

 

Been there also

 

I'm on konig 16x7 40 on 205-55 right now ride softer then the 17x7 215/45

 

OMG that look is the sheeeyet(!). Yes i have those OZ wheels and RPF1s on my list on the "baller status budget". the most expensive ones on my short list are MOtegi Traklite at $300+ a piece

i don't know how you or anyone can run 15s since there is no tire ratio that makes sense...they're either way off %-wise or no tires are available for the ones with closer ratios. Because otherwise i'd rock something like high performance 205/50/15. 15s are usually cheaper and lighter than bigger tires also = HUGE performance benefits.

which Konigs do you have? pics?

 

so far im messing with 16" bbs rxii.. tires.. 215-50-60 hankook vents .. should of gone 225 tho

 

I ran 15's with a 225/50/15 tire, it was actually really nice fit. i think if i wouldnt have had problems with getting the rear low enough , i would have kept them. i just cant get the ksport rears low enough to my liking and it looked bad on 15s

 

Hey is my ride on the konig 16x7

 

I plan on running 16's as well since it looks so good with a big drop. FYI 235/50/16 is very close to our OE tire size too.

 

what was your drop distance here? i would love to get that fitment..

 

something like 3-4" drop up front, 2-3" out back
K-Sport Coilovers

 

16" ultraleggeras with stock dunlops
