Hey guys, just looking for some new tires, and I managed to stumble upon some Yokohama Advan A032Rs at tirerack. I am rolling on 16" Spoon SW-388s at the moment, and was just wondering what would be the ideal size A032R for me.. Sizes are as follows for 16" Rims:

(1)205/55/16
(2)225/50/16
(3)245/45/16
(4)255/50/16

Thanks in advance.

PS: My car is dropped around 1.3-1.5" so hopefully they won't rub.

 

I just looked at A032Rs in 16" the other day, strange coincidence.

I concluded that there was no tire size that I could use. 225/50/16 is what I would use if I had to use A032R for some reason.

Reid, who thinks Chris is trying to justify the Advan stickers on his fenders...

 

Shhhhh.. hehehe

 

225s are a mile wide - you would have to run spacers for them to fit me thinks

I use 205-50-15s but think you would be ok with 205-55s since the Advan sidewalls are very stiff

 

ok so basically, my choices are, putting them on my stockers, or not getting them at all?

Chris - who is thinking about some Azenis for his Sp00ns and AdVaNs for his st0ckerz...

 

Remember a 215/45 Azenis is more like a 225/45

I can get Advan A038R's in 215/45/16

 

Yeah, I'd go with these instead to keep the gearing the same

Getting R Spec rubber in 16" suitable for a DC2 is a bit of a pain

Yes.

FWIW, the outer diameter of the 205/55-16 is 6.1 percent larger than stock. That's a big enough difference to feel it in poorer acceleration.
