I bought 16" rota circuit 8's in royal gunmetallic w/ a machined lip. I'm ready to order some nice tires to go along with them but I am not sure what would be the best SIZE? The width is 7" and the offset is 40 mm. Thanks in advance

225/45/16 - perfect size IMO, I loved it

On 7" wide tires?! I don't really know much about tire sizing, but I remember running 215's on my 7.5" wide 18's, and i've heard of people running up to 225's on them!

 

so would 215/40/16 be better? im getting confused.. dont i need 40 instead of 45 because of the offset?

225/45/16
or play around with the tire size calculator and decide.. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

 

so a 45 size tire would fit when my rim has an offset of 40??
