Default Trying to find a nice wheels setup | Please help! em1

Hello everybody, so i have a em1 with current setup

​​​​​​Rims - knock-off TE37 16x7
Tires continental 195/45/16

I find them kinda uncomfortable ..

I'm looking for something more comfortable and still looks good, i was thinking on this upgrades..

Falken Azenis or Toyo tires 205/45/16 or 195/50/16, What do you think guys?

First off, those aren't TE-37's (changed your post). They're a knock-off of some sort with VOLK and RAYS stickers on them (I'd lean towards saying they're SSK 031 model wheels). And, are you certain that they're 16x8? With a 195 treadwidth tire, the tires would be more stretched, like this:


Those look more like 16x7's.

The 195/50's will ride slightly better, as they have slightly taller sidewalls, but the differences will be negligible. I'd always choose the wider tire, because that's the preference I have.

So what do you think 205/50/16?

Me personally, I would run 205/50/16's. But, you could safely fit both 205/45/16's or 205/50/16's.
