I just bought some rota c8 16's and need to know what size tires you guys are running.. I plan on doing a 1.5" drop and don't want rubbing.. I was thinking either 205/40/16 or 205/45/16, which one of these would work better? I like the 45 series because I live on a bumpy road and most of the other roads here suck really bad (the state likes to fix what ain't broke first). But I'd also like to be able to turn my wheel all the way with no rubbing.
Help a guy out..

Also what brands of tires are you all running? I was thinking about toyo proxes fz4, but I haven't heard many reviews on them. let me know!

 

im currently running 205/40/16 and they suck, when these are done im going up to 45

bumps are killer, its a wonder i havent bent a rim yet

 

I've been on 205/40R16 for 2 years, no problems.

Kumho 712's

 

ne1 else?

 

btw. Mathematically the correct size to retain the same circumference as stock is 205-40r16

 

i'm not so much trying to retain stock settings, but i would be a nice touch.. but I'd rather not sacrifice my rims to bumps, or ride quality either.

 

215/45/16 Falken Azenis

 

Ive got a 205/50/15 Azenis on 15" slipstreams

I know there 15" but there 50 series so there bigger and Im dropped 2.25 front and 2.5 rear.

No rubbing

 

205/45/R16 Nitto 450's lowered 1".

 

would 16 be to big? i have 15's on my ef and if i make a hard turn i can hear my back right rub
