New Wheel/Tire Size thread

[Alex857]

lol yeah, it doesnt look too aweful bad, shes sleepin tonight, ill get pics tomorrow. Im almost afraid to lower, i dont wanna rub like crazy on autox days, or have to run alot of neg camber, tires get to be expensive. Right now its only rubbing on hard bumps or hard twisties, so idk, ill try to roll them a bit more (i need a damn rolling machine).

Ok, i'm planning to put 16x8 ET 35 with 225-50-r16 and i'm drop of .75 inch(ohlins setup). So , my question is .....will it fit(rub...)? will it be safer to have 40 of offset? Or i just go for 15x8?

from earlier in the thread:

Finally installed my wheels.

Wheel: Rota Slipstream 16x7 +40
Tire: Yokohama S-drive 225/50/16
Drop: Tein S-Techs
Rolled: No
Rubbing: Yes, in the front on big dips and bumps.

s-techs are a lot lower than .75 inches so the +40 will fit.

the +35 will def rub in the rear like whoa..

[viking9934]

thanks, i will go for +40

Hey peeps, I'm trying to decide on a tire for my rims which are 16x8. I was thinking of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS PS or Yoko Advan S4 in 225/50/16. If you have any other suggestions let me know please I'm looking for something that is good for dry and wet conditions. Thanks ahead of time.

Hey guys, okay i did some research on some fitment... i tried searching but i couldn't find exactly what i was looking for. I just wanted to double check if a 17x7.5 wheel with 225/45/17 tires with a +45 offset would rub with a 1" to 1.5" drop? Or would a 215/45/17 tire work better...? From the info i gathered, if it's a 1" drop everything should fit, i just wanted to check before i start buying stuff :P lol

[ttc86]

Still wondering if 17x7.5 +45 would fit without rubbing... and would +40 make a difference? Kind of just wondering what my safe offset range would be with a 17x7.5 wheel and about a 1" drop

[_shift]

Debating on going with some 225/50/16's on a slightly lower stance..anyone have issues with this set up? Or should I just go safe with a 215?
