im trying to decide if i want to go with a 205/50/16 or 205/45/16 on my em1...post pix up and tell which size and if your dropped/how much...THANX

 

go 45.

 

i want to but at the same time ive been riding on 205/40's for the past 3 years and tired of feeling every crack/bump/pebble in the road and wanted to go 50 series for a little more cushion and give

anyone else?

 

50 is going to look huge... go 45

 

my car on 205/45's



I think they ride good. 50's would give a lot of sidewall flex and throw your speedo off as well. 45's are what is recommended for the +1 wheel size

 

nice look man...that helps a LOT

 

anyone else have pix of 205/40/16 or 205/50/16

 

205/40's

 

I think you'll be better off with the 45's...the 50's would be too big.

 

yea on 16's go 45

 

The beefier the tire, the more chance of rub, unless you compensate for it. A simple fender roll or camber adjustment can be that compensation. I prefer beefy tires myself (205/50/16). I have yet to get them, but that is my absolute choice. 45 is very nice, just not enough tire for me.

Here's a Civic on Dunlop Direzza ZII, 205/50/16

 

Currently on 205/55/16 and on stock springs. Only time they rub is when you turn the steering wheel all the way, it'll rub in the inner wheel well. Either way I don't find myself doing it often and will most likely change them out for some 205/50/16. Looking for some springs but not sure which to get. Looking for a 1.5"-2" inch drop. Any suggestions anyone? Not looking to camber it or slam the car. Just something that'll make it look slick.

 

i lack basic reading skills. 6's look like 5's. Thanks Toyomatt84 :D
