    Plus1 Wheel sizing

    Using discount tire direct's program for finding a plus sized wheel/tire combination, it says that a 16" wheel can go on tires
    205/50-16
    205/55-16
    215/50-16

    Now, forgive my ignorance, but doesn't a 205/50-16 have a smaller diameter than a 205/55??
    I thought the point of the plus sizing scheme was to increase the size of your wheel while keeping your tire's diameter the same to get a lower profile and better handling.... ??

    205 50 16 is almost the same as the stock diameter-and yes it does have a smaller diamter than the 205 55 16's but then that would be a little bigger than stock tire/combo:)

    use 205/50/16 or 215/45/16 thatll get you closest to the stock wheel size.
