anyone using 2xx/45/16 on stock 16's?
 
Hi everyone,
i really want falken azenis sports but they only come in certain sizes. does anyone here have any pictures of an fc running 45 width tires on the stock 16's? if you can that would really help.

thanks,
steven

I am going to get 245/45 16's for the back on my fc
thats as wide as you can go and still fit, or its what i
have been told.

yeah they should fit, not sure about rubbing issues. im trying to go for optimum for auto-x so no side wall deflection or sagging.

a 245 or even a 225 on a stock 7 inch rim when properly pressurized will actually develop a crown in the middle and lose contact patch. Just visualize what doing a wider tire on the same width wheel does. it starts to bow out. With this sed, i had 225's on my 7 inch t2 wheels out back. i had to keep the pressure down though to maintain contact patch. around 27 pounds.

i'll be getting hte 215/45/16 falken azenis sport or maybe even the 205/55/16. but i'm leaning towards the 215's.
