Ok I just picked up a set of 16x7's


What tire size should I run with my 2.5" Drop?
195/50/16 - 205/45/15 - 205/50/16?

I don't want too much meat, but I don't want them to look undersized and throw the speedo off.

Thanks!
Keith

 

I say go with 205/50 for your 16" wheels. Btw what are the offsets for the wheels?

 

I'm running 205/50/16 on my eibach pro-kit
Kit says it is 1.5inch drop, but seems lower. I have about one finger spacing in the back and 1.5 up front (fender lip to tire) and its fine.

I think the offset on the wheel will have more of a bearing on fiment

 

I'm on 205/50/16s, too. That's the correct size to keep everything legit as far as odometer and speedometer. I think they look great, too.

 

205-50 is the best in my opinion. 195 will look slightly stretched on 7in rim. And you may want to get tires with a rim protective rib even if you get 205's since the rim will stick out just a bit (that is if you want to be safe)

 

7" = 195 on stock I think.

 

thanks! 205/50 looks like the way I will be going then.

Rims are 16x7 +40

Thanks!

 

Post up some pics when you get them on please? Thanks!

 

Could you guys post pix of your setups and drops?

Thanks!
Keith

 

Just got my drop done two weeks ago and the tires last week. I will try and get some pics soon. I need a car wash first

 

205/ 50/16 Michelin Pilot Exalto's on Motegi RT5's +42. Dropped on Eibach Pro springs.

 

Nice look/stance.^^^

 

Well my overall drop when I'm finished will be aroud 3".

I think I will go with the 205/45 instead. Anyone have any pix?
