im about to buy 16x7 or a 15x7(kinda havent decided) what width of tire should i run with either of these rims??? which size wheel shoud i use???

goin on a 92 hatch with a soon to be 2.0 - 2.5" drop

 

i have an ek. i like the 15 inch wheels better than 16's. the 15's have a little bit better tire prices so if u think ur going to go threw tires. id say go for the 15s but it all depends on wat ur doing and wat u want ur ride to be be like. i like a little more cooshin. i like the 205 50 r15 good luck hope i helped.

 

195/50 on the 15inch rim
205/40 on the 16inch rim

 

1) Decide you over all diameter you want for your car, this is usually the stock diameter
2) Decide the rim diameter you want, i.e. 14", 15", 16"...etc
3) Decide the size of tire you want. In your case, 175/70-13, 185/65-14, 195/50-15, or 205/40-16. Note that the 205/40-16 may be a little to wide for you car and lead to rubbing. I would just got with the 15"
4) Now decide the exact brand and model of tire you are going to use.
5) Lastly, now decide the size of rim you need to run. You do this by looking at the spec sheet for the tire you are going to use and pick a rim width that is within the "approved rim width" range. Try and pick something in the middle. In most cases for:
- 175/70-13: 4.5-6"
- 185/60-14: 5-6.5"
- 195/50-15: 5.5-7"
- 205/40-16: 7-8"

These are just in general, always check the spec sheet of your specific tire. Also when getting a rim make sure to get the proper offset, hubsize, and bolt pattern
