biggest tire on 16 panasport rims
i have a 79 and want to get some tires. This is what i was thinking 215/40/16 in front 225/40/16 in rear?
or is it better and safer to go 205/40/16 in front and 215/40/16 in rear?

I think you'll be struggling to get 215's on the front as there's barely any clearance between the tyre and the strut. Even with 205/15's I only had a few mm.
You should be able to fit 225's on the back pretty easy but the optimal size depends on how wide the rim is.

yeah i put some 225/40/16 in the rear and 215/40/16 in the front and the rears are rubbing on the fender when i hit a bump. So i m going to move the 215s to the rear and get a pair of 205s in the front. The 215s in the front rub the fender when i make a deep u turn. I m just wanted to know what u guys have experienced. Oh i m selling the 225/40/16 in the rear. they are kumho supra 712 z rated. Make an offer. Just two available.
