Living in Ohio (Pot Hole Centeral - at least it seems that way), I was going to go with 17"s with 40 series tires, but after looking at a set of 40 series tires at a local shop, I am now thinking of going with 50 series tires and 16"s. This way I can run year round without having to swap in the winter.

Anyone running with 16"s and 50 series tires??? Pictures would help if anyone has them

Thanks in advance!

 

I am running 16's with 45's. Give me a sec, and I will look for a pic.

Here is a pic. I too chose this size since the streets in Houston are like that on Mars. On the other hand, steering is more responsive and not too mention light weight. May not be the #1 choice for style, but I can live with them.

 

Thanks Scionpimp!

Nice ride!!!

 

Anyone else??????

 

yup

me too.

I've had comments of "boy, you really couldn't go any bigger, that looks good" by a tuner and "you gonna get wheels for that?" from a teenager.

205 50's on 2" goldlines

 

To all their own, I guess...

Have seen pics of your xB Superjeer, but was not sure what kind of rubber you were running. Nice setup!!!

Thanks for the post.

Here is our xB with 205/50/16" yokohama's on ASA wheels and stock springs.

Just picked up a set of Tiens H-Tec springs to put on it soon.

 

i'm running on 16s but i i dont know how to post it's on my background

 

lol, punk.

I agree. I'm taking donations for an A70 from that other thread.

 

according to your profile you have 18s????

atleast post the wheel /tire side you have

 

I'm on 16s. Tires are Toyo 512, 205/55R16. Bit of sidewall (I like it though) and the speedo is off a bit.

 

he swapped 'em out for the 16"s they're super-nice. bronze skinny five spoke, i think. i say go with the smaller wheel. i'm totally diggin' the small wheel with high profile tire look. i'm not driving a racer, so i don't need 17" low-pro tires & wheels. i want to go with the konig heliums in bronze, but i just noticed that they dont seem to make them in 16"s. i also saw a set of velox VX8-Rs on sale in gunmetal with a polished lip.

mmmm 16s are cool!!

 

16's are cool i have the 17" versions of superjeers and his look just as good with more practical rubber. check my lame photoshopped profile picture.

Which tire dealers have all you guys been using for these 16's? And how was your experience with each. Most of the sites I've looking at seem to be pushing the 17 and above wheels.

 

i went through americas tire co. i've been going there for years, dont let them tell you what to get. they're not the one's who might be complaining about the harshness of the ride with 17s
