Motegi Mr7 16x7” rims with Nitto 205/50/16 tires

Will they rub? Do they fit fine on a 2k2 lx sedan?

yes i believe it will fit ur car.....

50's are about stock size.....

I don't understand the sizing for tires, but if 50 is the same size as the stock, and the rim is 16" instead of the stock 15", then won't the whole wheel be bigger?

yes the wheel will be bigger... but the gap between the tires and the fender is large....
Adding an inch will still leave alot of space

I believe he meant that the 205/50-16's you were talking about were the same overall diameter as stock size.

Go w-a-a-a-a-y up toward the top right corner of this forum page to the "tire calc" link. When you get there, put in your stock tire size vs. the 205/50-16 (actually, you can see that it is one of the recommended "plus" sizes listed there). You can see that it is a pretty good match, with not much speedometer error. (That shorter sidewall on the 16" tire makes up for the larger 16" diameter wheel, but the overall diameter pretty much stays the same[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG])

There should not be any rubbing with a 205 mm width -- read the other thread going right now about all the people that are running 215's with no problems.

They will fit just fine. I have the Motegi Mr7 17's and I could've gotten an 18. So 16 will be a little small.

ya one misconception is bigger the wheel = bigger tires = rubbing.
you have to remember when you get bigger wheels, you get thinner/low profile sidewalls to make up for the bigger wheels. as bigdaddy said, you want to look for the OVERALL tire diameter..(n ya width as well)
