I'm about to mount on some Falken Azenis' on my Gram Lights and wondering what tire size I should go with and why. Oh yeah the wheels are 16" and if you guys could, say the drop heights and if there's any rubbing. Coolio

since i posted this thread i went with the 215/45's and those lasted for 7 months (non racing), then i ran them hard to the ground in less than 4 months.... hmmmmm.. now i think i'll go with yoko's ... or does anyone else have any ideas

I rub a lttle with the 215-45-16's on a 1" drop.
Thoes 205-55-16 are too big, especially if your lowered.

 

Stock 195/55-15 = 23.4" dia.

215/45-16 = 23.6" dia.

205/55-16 = 24.9" dia.

I personally wouldn't go with either of these sizes, which means I would use another tire, probably Yokohama AVS ES100's in 205/45-16.

 

i have 205/40/16

 

Neither. Go with 205/45/16.

he cant, the problem is that they dont make them in that size so you are stuck with those choices

215/45 is a good choice

 

weird that they dont make that size, seems a lot of people run that, but 55s would be to big on 16s, so get the 215/45/16s and hope they dont rub

 

considered these?

225/45YR16 -- 23.9" dia

 

Yikes a little big there. It's always best to go slightly smaller than larger. Smaller tires will give you a higher effective final drive (better acceleration) and will also help keep you from getting busted for speeding when you didn't know it (larger tires make you go faster than what is shown on the speedometer).

 

What size are your wheels and what is the offset?
