So my coilovers will be in tomorrow and ill be dropping my car lower. I was originally gonna copy _mac_'s tire fitment but no tire shops around here will order me any 225-45 series tires. the ones that can get ahold of some say they are super soft tires and i will burn through them very quickly. My car is currently sitting on 205-45-16's and imo they look ok on the front and really dinky on the back. Im thinking it will be easier to run 4 of the same size tires and not stagger them like i originally wanted. So what size tire will look good and fill up my wheel wells but not too beefy and make my rims look small? Also my car is going to be VERY low to the ground!

pictures would be rad!

 

how about pics of different tire sizes on 16x7" rims...

 

A 205/50/15 will almost have the same sidewall as a 225/45/16 just skinnier contact patch of course. Might need to run a spacer in the rear if you use a 205 though.

 

I'm going to run 205/50 front 225/45 rear. The latter isn't a very common size (i believe the ford focus svt was the only car ti run them stock) but if you can't find them you just aren't looking....at least in the right places. Stop relying on your uncles used tire shop and just order some tires.

215/45/16 is another option, but once again it isn't the most popular size so it won't be sitting on very many shelves either (i think the mini cooper s ran this size)
