tires too big?
so guys i need your opinion,i put advan wheels on and im running 225/50/16 in the front and 245/50/16 in the back the wheels are 7.5 inches in the front +32 and 8.5 rear+32. the tires looks to big. would a lower profile tire help me achieve a less bulgy look or would a skinnier tire?

Yes, tires are too tall.
245/45-16 is the proper height. I ran those in Toyo RA1 on 16x7.5 +30 front 16x8 +30 rear on my FC. The sidewalls are still bulgy, but it does look different. Does my car look any better to you? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...877d8cf2c1.jpg I just found they make 195/40-16 Federal Evos if you want to go low pro. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bce3508300.jpg |

195/40-16 on crown vic wheels (16x7 +6 or +20 not sure which in this pic) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...fb1b839964.jpg |
Thanks alot. it does look a bit different. i wouldnt go any lower than 45 especially living in nyc thats just asking to get your rim bent lol.
thanks jager |
Lol ^ This is my car. I wouldn't recommend 195/40/16's, It's impossible to fill the wheel gap no matter how low you are. That, and they ride like garbage. This picture doesn't highlight it, but there is a good 4 inches of wheel gap with the car damn near scraping the subframe. I moved up to 205/50/16 all around. I like having a beefier tire after the 40's. I forget the offset, I can check later today. I am running a 5 mm spacer up front.
BTW VISH. SELL ME YOUR ADVANS!!!!:icon_tup: |

I'm running 225/45/16 and 245/45/16. Slightly lower profile than yours but still meaty. Not a whole lot of options in tires though, you're going to spend a lot because the only ones available are high performance. |
yokohama makes Size: 215/40R16
Y- S.drive . 105 bucks a pop . looks the best in 16' i had 225/45/16 front and back and 245/45/16 rear and above-front and just went back to my good oL 15's 225/45/15 all around hankook RS-3 |
S-drives look nice and perform well in dry weather. Unfortunately, they're not good in wet weather and they wear super fast. With normal driving, I went through 2 sets in maybe 10,000 miles. They're a very soft compound tire.
I switched to Hankook Ventus Contact v2's. So far I dig them. The tread pattern isn't the most aggressive, but they grip well in both wet and dry weather. They also come in a variety of sizes and my 20/50/16's were $70.00 per tire at Discount Tire. I've also put at least 5,000 miles on these with minimal tread wear. |
