Ok I just picked up a set of 16x7's


What tire size should I run with my 2.5" Drop?
195/50/16 - 205/45/15 - 205/50/16?

I don't want too much meat, but I don't want them to look undersized and throw the speedo off.

Thanks!

I say go with 205/50 for your 16" wheels. Btw what are the offsets for the wheels?

I'm running 205/50/16 on my eibach pro-kit
Kit says it is 1.5inch drop, but seems lower. I have about one finger spacing in the back and 1.5 up front (fender lip to tire) and its fine.

I think the offset on the wheel will have more of a bearing on fiment

I'm on 205/50/16s, too. That's the correct size to keep everything legit as far as odometer and speedometer. I think they look great, too.

205-50 is the best in my opinion. 195 will look slightly stretched on 7in rim. And you may want to get tires with a rim protective rib even if you get 205's since the rim will stick out just a bit (that is if you want to be safe)

7" = 195 on stock I think.

thanks! 205/50 looks like the way I will be going then.

Rims are 16x7 +40

Thanks!

Well my overall drop when I'm finished will be aroud 3".

I think I will go with the 205/45 instead. Anyone have any pix?
