Im about to buy some 16" wheels for my car so what tire would you guys recommend? i want the least amount of tire to be showing from the edge of the rim to top of the tire (kinda hard to explain but hopefully you understand). i was thinking either 205/40/16 or 205/45/16, pics would really be helpful.

I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 205/45/16. Why sacrifice a better ride and protection from potholes?

I have 205/40/16 on my car but i really want 45's.

whys that? 205/45/16 looks kinda stock from some pics ive seen...

to the last pic: no offense but thats exactly what im trying to stay away from... they look really cheap and make it look smaller, why is 205/40/16 so bad?

If you want your rims to look bigger get bigger rims...using a lower aspect ratio tire just looks ghetto.

JDM ITR rides on 215/45ZR16, FYI.

i got 205/55/16 i know their big and wide but i just gotta wait until i lowered my car to find out if they rub.

205/45-16 is the most accurate for our speedometers I believe. That's what I just ordered.

i got 205/45/16's on my rota gt3's....theyre nice!

 

[QBmurderer13]

i rub against the finder lining on stock ls webs (15") so i think 17's will be even worse. are there really any advantages of having 45's over 40's performance wise? cause i think 40s look better.

edit: you got any pics tommy?

205/45/16 is pretty much the same size as 205/50/15.

Anything less than 45s and your revolutions will be higher....

This could be good or bad, depending on what you're doing

why is it good or bad?

why is it good or bad?

Good- Acceleration is a little faster

Bad- While cruising, your RPMs will be a little higher
