Tire Size Help

[LeperCon]

I am planning on buying Rota Slipstream 16x7.5 wheels and am curious if it is possible to run 215/50 16 tires on our car. Anyone know? Thanks.

should be no problem, don't know if you require an offset, but I have a pic of 215/40/17's and they fit nicely.

shouldn't be a problem...but your speedometer reading with those tires is going to be 1.0% too slow, so when your speedo says 60mph, your actually going 60.6.
Not a problem for some, but something you can consider. But if I were you, I'd just go with a 45 series tires...as it will look better imo.
