Tire size help for 16 inch wheels
Hello everyone. I am having a hard time finding specific information on wheel offset and tire size.
I am looking to buy some Konig Kaiten's 16x7 +45mm offset. My question is will 225/45/R16 tires fit these wheels without any issues on a 97 Integra?

I know they are larger in diameter but why would they not fit? This is a 7 inch wheel after all.

they will fit on the rim but will most likely rub on your car unless you rolled your fenders plus your speedometer wont work correctly using the wrong sized tires.

Actually my speedometer will actually be more accurate with them ironically.
Are you sure they will rub on the fenders with that offset?

Re: Tire size help for 16 inch wheels
i know it will rub for a fact. i had the same car(95 rs) stock height on falken ziex 225/45 and it rubbed slightly at stock height carrying loads and when i lowered it then i had to run a little bit of negative camber and do a slight roll to the back fender.
only reason i ran the tire was because i bought a set of rims w/ them on and wanted to wait to get new tires.

Re: Tire size help for 16 inch wheels
Wouldn't that depend upon the offset of the wheel itself? What was the offset of the wheels you used?
Thank you for your input though. I think I will go with 215s.

Re: Tire size help for 16 inch wheels
How would I fix that?
For the most part it is probably a good thing. Help me from getting speeding tickets.
