Re: New Wheels! I has ?'s!
Are you going to be using them for strictly autoX? So I guess you don't care about the accuracy of the speedo and that junk.
If your doing daily driving in them use this tire size calculator :

I'd go with: 215/45R16

Re: New Wheels! I has ?'s!
I used a tire calculator to calculate this. So the diameter should stay roughly the same or within spec anyway. I'm not too informed on suspension and rims but I'd assume that it would work!

Yeah the tires you told him to get would be good, but you said if he used it only for autox he could get bigger, but that's where the brakes could **** up.

Re: New Wheels! I has ?'s!
Yeeea.. I never really said go any bigger than those. I think anything else and you might get some rub issues
But again, I'm no expert on tires by any means. I just knew where to locate the calculator and picked the meatiest tires on it

If you want to play it safe go 205 45 16, that is what is most recommend for 16 inchers.

Re: New Wheels! I has ?'s!
Thanks for the help guys! Rep for all you
Also, I plan on going lower in the future, does that mean I'll need even smaller tires?
