ok, so i havea set of 16x8's wiht 0 offset. im currently on stock suspension but will be upgrading to coilovers soon and dropping the car a little. im running into trouble figuring out what size tires i can run. im looking to have a medium stretch. i was thinking a 205/45/16. anyone have any input as to a good size????

205/40/16. 205/45's are going to be a little too tall IMO. I ran 205/40/16's on my 16x8's when I had my NB and they were perfect.

I don't know what your definition of "too tall" is, but 205-45-16s are much closer to stock size than 205-40-16s

BTW, here is a shitty picture of my car with 205-40-16s


The speedo is pretty far off once you get past 60mph

I have 205/45's on 16x7's. My car is stock height though, but I have no issues at all.

Tire stretch is one of the ugliest things one could possibly do to a car.

I run 205/45/16 on my 7" wheels. I run 215/45/16 on my 7.5" wheels

There are a few 215/40/16s. a few falkens come to mind.


There is a 225/35/16 and 245/35/16 available at a huge cost.

I was going to tell him to prepare to have his anus violently penetrated, but for what it's worth there IS some useful information on that site. Gives a good idea of fitment, and not all of them are stretched.

I like tire stretch, but there are some things you just don't tell these people. Oh wait. ****.

Boy, nothing like a stretched tires, stretched anus thread to bring out the nOObs.
