So I need to order tires for these wheels I just picked up from JHOT.

DIRT cheap

150 shipped

I know they look rough but some paint and time and they'll look great. Although I have no clue what they are, they just showed up on a container they got.

Specs are as follows
16x8 +30
16x9 +35

Tires this wide and in this diameter arent easy to find with a low profile. Can I stretch some 225's on the 9's? Any recommendations from anyone here? I want to get these wheels done and ready ASAP. Thanks everyone

225's will strech fine on a 9. I run a 215/45 on a 9.5 no prob.

those are pretty nice wheels if and when you paint them over. running a 225 with it will be great in fact, not too much stretching

Took your advice and ordered a set of 225/40/16 Falken Ziex ZE-512's from tire rack. Should be here by thursday. Now if I can get the wheels refinished in time.....

Thanks everyone, now can anyone identify these wheels?

225 front, 245 rear will be square...anything less is a stretch

depends what kinda look you want

Try running a small bead of JBweld over the curb rash then smooth it out with your finger into the crevases. Let it harden then sand it. Think bondo...but harder. Then paint. I saw those on Jhot also.....curb rash kinda scared me....but they can be made nice.

:ugh: ah...correct me if im wrong, but i dont think 225/40/16 will fit...people use 215/40/17 for a pretty big stretch on 17x9s so i dont think 40 series will properly accomodate for a 16x9...but who knows, maybe im just old fashioned...

they look really similar to the kei office wheels.. but i doubt they are cuz of the caps.
