Will a 195/40/16 tire fit on a set of 16x7 regamasters with a +35 offset? Or will the wheel stick out and look stupid? Thanks guys!

I have 205/45/16s on them now and the width of the tire doesn't clear my back fender with the +35 offset. So I was just wondering if a 195/40/16 would even look right

They'd look like rubberbands almost.

what brand of tires do you have on them now? have you thought about looking into tires that taper like the falken 512s? also what suspension are you running? i have the same setup as you (16" regamasters +35 offset) and raised the rear a couple coils so my tires won't hit the rear fender. btw - i have 205/45/16 yokohama s.drives

BUSTED!! HAHA. anyway the one thing that I dont like about it is the lip of the rim sticks out to much for my comfort. I would rather lift it just a little bit like has been suggested.

205 wide tire with a higher offset. or roll your fenders. or more negative camber. or both.

i agree with rolling the fenders. its cheap and easy. 205's will get you a bigger foot print and more traction.
