Default 16x8 et44 205/45/16 fronts 225/45/16 rears possible

Hello everyone,

I am not familiar with the rsx platform, but the reason for this thread is I am selling a set of wheels that is common amoungst mr2/240sx platforms. A possible buyer today wants them for his rsx lowered on coils by about 2" but I am not sure they will fit. We are planning to test fit, but if there is no way, I don't think I should waste mine or his time.

Specs: Toms c7r 16x8 +44
225/45/16 rear and 205/45/16 fronts

I am sure the wheel can fit with no issues I am just wondering about the tire for him. Fronts I doubt will be an issue, but I am guessing the rears will need some negative camber to fit.

Thanks for any input/advice and regardless I will update it later if no answers are given. Thanks and have a good weekend.

pretty sure 225/45/16 will clear the rears.

put the 225's up front, the front wheel drive would love the traction, they'll fit both ways regardless....

He actually did mount the 205s up front but then said he wanted to see what the 225 up front would look like. Looks pretty good IMO, with some negative camber it can be pulled off really nicely. He ended purchasing them and is now planning to run 225 all around.
