Do you want your car slammed on the ground or slammed on your wheels?

 

either.i just want it low

 

16s would work fine ,.. just find tires that dont have massive walls. and they would look better that 15s

 

What's your definition of "slammed?"

 

i have 16's with 205/40's, and they look great. they fill up the fender well pretty good.



keep in mind that i also have 1.5" drop springs installed.

 

This is my 16" on 205/40 tires. I think it coverd the fender well very good.

 

15s on HB 16s on coupe

 

205/45/16 is the correct size to get for 16's not a 40 profile

 

I say just go with 16's with a 45 series. Slam the car on them if that is your preference, that way you can maintain clearance for diving around town. Plus i think 16's look better on EK's.

 

thats what im trying to figure out. how do 15's look with 40 series compared to 16's with 40 series and how much lower the 15's can look.

a smaller diameter wheel also increases acceleration but loses top speed, and for me, top speed isnt a nessecity

But a 40 series tire sucks around town. I would go 45

 

16x7 205/45R16

 

can i see some 16x7 with 205/40/16? and some 15x7 205/40/15 setups?

 

u dont want a 40 series tire, which is what people are trying to tell you. if u get 16's go with a 45 series tire. if u go with 15's go with a 45 or even a 50 series tire would ride better.

 

15's 195/45/15

 

This is what the Tech Marque forum has come to?

 

im not going for a ride. im going for acceleration/performance. tahts why i want a smaller diameter wheel

 

EG: 15"

EK: 16"

x2

 

205/45/16 all the way..... had that sizeon my EG6 and my DC2

 

im not looking for an opinion i would i SHOULD be runing becuase i know the correct size is different than what im looking for.

im purposely looking for smaller diameter tire for a reason. for PERFORMANCE & APPEARANCE.

im looking for pictures to see how it appears.

 

205-40 R16 tires are harsh! specially running 10k front springs and low

205-45+ ftw
