Need tire suggestion for 14x9 14x10 wheels
 
Ok so I'm waiting on my brand used set of wheels for my RX3, and in the mean time I'm shopping for a right size tires for them but can seem to find one that best fit the wheels. Has any one use the same size wheels? if so what size tires are you using? My rx3 is lowered and has some what big flares. Any suggestion?

High performance? All season? Budget? Milage expectations?

It's going to be VERY hard to find tires for them, because even in 16's 245's are getting scarse, 15's it's basically impossible to get any HP tires over 225, and below that it just keeps getting narrower with fewer and fewer brand choices. Many performance tires these days don't even go below 17", some not below 16" and almost 100% of the balance don't go below 15". You'll be lucky to find 205's in a 14.

Yeah I know what you mean, I found some toyo r888 and Ra1 proxes 205/55/14 and 225/50/14 that may work but the 225/50 may be a bit too big for the rear.

A 225 too big for a 10" wheel?! Their maximum reccomended rim width is 8" for the 225 and 7.5" for the 205. Your rims are too big, not the tires.

the 225/50 will fit the 10" wheels just fine, but they are too tall and would rub up against the flares. The wheels actually have 195/60 on them but they are too streatched. The 205/50 I think will work just fine for the 9" but the 10" I'm having problem with.
