im going to be soon running 16x7 and i got 205/50/16 tires dose anyone know if i will rub? I am lowerd on tein stec's and I plan to go lower to like 2.5" or maybe 3 on the racelands. Any input will be apprecitated thanks!
I'm the same boat. 205/50 will drop your sidewall by about .4" so you should be fine. Why would you want to dump the car that low?
I was thinkn about 45s but my freinds told me to go with the 50s. I wonder how low i can do without rubbing ahhh
I was just planning to lower it untill i have no more finger gap, maybe i Miss used the word slammed lol
One of the problems I consistently see with these fitment threads is that no one posts their camber specs. Camber is a huge factor is wheel fitment, and running excessive camber can be an issue for some people trying to run a certain alignment setup.
For instance, Ive got 17x9's with 235's all around and I dont rub. Someone will see that and say sweet Im going to pick up some 17x9's and be hella flush yo. The part I left out is that Ive got -3.6* of camber in the back to clear the fenders. I would never wish that kind of rear camber on any FWD car owner, and its been killing me that I couldnt afford new rear wheels until now. As soon as my new setup comes in Ill put up specs.

Anyone have experience running a tire to wide for the rim? I received my 235/40/17 Dunlop Z1's and want to mount them on 17x7 rims... Recommended minimum is 17x8.
Dangerous?
Sloppy handling?
Tire roll?
Just fine?
it's just like alignment wear. some people get it some people don't. the reason that they don't recommend such a wide tire in a narrow wheel is that when you do that, the tire becomes prone to separating at the shoulder which can lead to tire failure. esp with the Dunlops tho as they run wider than almost every tire in the same size. i'd push it to 7.5, but with your Star Specs i wouldn't do it. my .02
