WHat kind of car do you have??? 40 Series on a 16 usually look gay. Do a 45 Series they handle great and look good.

don't get 50's, they look like this monster tires..(i bought the wheels with these tires)



i'd say get 45's. 40's are too low profile and the ride is rough..

Get 45s, they ride better. But if you want to slam the car, I'd say get 40s.

I've had both... 40s LOOK hot... 45s RIDE nice.

I scrapped the 40s and went to a 45. Sacrifice some look, but gain some functionality, but functionality in itself is beautiful.

&lt;-- avitar is on 40s

45 series is better IMO.... 40 series on an integ just looks small especially if u dont slam it.

205/45/16 is a good set up for daily driving..I had them on my car but they do tend to rub a little when you turn hard into a corner..... old pic from 2+ years ago with a 2 inch drop
