aight heres the deal. my ep is running on 16" wheels, with 40 series kumho tires. it is also dropped on eibach sportlines, giving about 1.6 all around. ordinarily this would be fine, except that i also have the greddy evo II cat back, and the pipe hangs low. i am scraping this pipe on the ground from time to time. when i had my stock si wheels on, the 15" alloys with the stock michelins, there wasnt a problem with this. my nice 16"s with the 40 series tires are a little bit smaller in diameter than the stock wheels/tires. therefore, the car is sitting just a bit lower. is there a solution to get rid of the scraping of the cat back pipe?? can this pipe be hung a little tighter to the bottom of the ep? or is my size wrong on the tires? should i go with a 45 or 50 series tire on 16" wheels? i dont want to have to worry then about the tires rubbing in the fender wells over bumps.

help... really bummed.

Most people uses 205/50/16.
Just get new tires, Won't rub with that drop.

how about 45 series? i am still worried about 50 series rubbing, that seems a little large. would the 50 series with 16" wheels = plus one size, meaning its gonna be the same as the stock 15"s + michelins?

thanks

a 40 series tire on a 16 inch rim is pretty small. I would definately look into running a 45 or 50 series.
