Default tire size

right now im rolling on a 15x6.5 rim with dunlop sp5000's i got anoth set of rims that are 16x7 the tires are falken 215/40/16's Ziex 512s im using tein flex with the computer it rains here and there where im located but there are basically wet conditions. I know the car will turn even sharper on a dime i have 6 suspension bars to keep it stiff. The thing i do not want is to run over a nickel or dime in the road and here a bunch of ratteling. I am aware you sacrafice ride quality the lower profile you go. I have even thought about going back to a 14 inch rim like a volk te37 and using 195/60/14. The question if i ajust the Tein computer to all the way soft in the front and back will it make the same sound & ratteling as if i were on a spring & strut set up? I chose the 215/40/16/86w because i wanted the car to sit the same height. Riders who have rolled on that size let me know not the well i heard that if stuff. Thanks

I'd say the only way to know is to adjust the computer like you said and find out. Tuning cars is all about experimentation..

true at least you hit it on the button the only way is to try it out i trip when people talk about parts they have never even owned i see your on a spring drop that i respect all of my 3 other cars were spring strut combos with camber kits they always rode better than my buddies skunk coil overs. Sounds like you car is tuned and pulls peace
