Falken Tires... 45 or 50?
Hey guys, just here to ask a quick question
Heres the deal.... I have some falken zeix 512's on the front of the car rated at 205/55/16 and i really like the way they look.... now on the back i just got some 225/55/16's on the back and boy do they look ugly! the car looks like a drag car sitting so high in the *** end... I just took off a set of 225 50 16 on the rear that were bald and i really liked how the car looked my question is do you think i should go for a set of 225 50 16's or do you think that will look like a drag car in the *** end with full tred... or should i go 225 45 16's in the rear? Which would be closest to 205 55 16's? The car is lowered roughly 2 inches and i just want the rake to be not so durastic.... any comments are muchly appreciated!

You can also go here for diameter, sidewall height measurements etc... and compare.

This is for an FC, right? By calculations (that don't always match the actual tire sizes that are available to all citizens of the earth on tire spec sheets you can get from Tire Rack or the tire manufacturers' web sites), 225/50 is a closer match for the overall diameter of the 205/55 fronts. 225/45 are smaller. Larger diameter front tires usually looks odd.
