I'm getting some 16"x7 Rota Slipstreams 40 offsets for my DelSol (replacing my 14" steelies).

Just wondering whats the biggest meat I can fit under my car with out modification or "rubbing".

I was thinking of going with some 225/50r or maybe 215/55r

what yall think ?

 

You can get a 215/55 on there but it will screw up your speedo and tranny.

 

I can fix the speedo.....i think its possible......I just wanna know about any clearance or rubbing issues.

 

215 might rub at extreme turns, I'm running 205 with no rubs at all.

 

205/ 50R's ???

so maybe 225/50 will not rub too much ?

uh.....yeah, I think a bigger tire size will help my gas mileage to on the highway.....

I run about 3900 rpm's @ 70mph currently!!!!!

 

My friend uses 225/45/16 on Mugen wheels [not sure of the offset] and it doesn't rub at all. Check http://www.kingmotorsports.com for the offset of MF8/MF10. They also look wide as hell... which looks good as hell!

is this on stock shocks and stock springs ?

I use Yokohama AVS ES100 Tires 205/40/16 w/ tein coil overs

 

YES....stock setup....

 

i dont' see you having any problems on stock ride height with either 205 55 or 215 50.

 

 

hmmmm.....I wanna try 225/50 maybe.....get my gear ratio up for highway driving

 

i have 225x15 bfg's on my sol for daily driving and they dont rub
my 24.5"x9x13 slicks dont rub either
