Noob Tire Size: 16x8 S13??

[MrFairlady]

Got some 16x8 +25 reverse mesh wheels..what tire should i go w/?
Will be lowered on Coils..may even run a small spacer.

205/45 maybe (to thin??)
205/55?

Need A cheap daily Driver tire.

thanks

Prob 225/50 16 is the widest tire you can fit, you could go with 245/45 16 if you flare your fenders a little and run like 3 degrees of camber in the front.

[MrFairlady]

something a tad streched if need be is what I'm kinda going for..but more or less the Cheapest size for some Basic Daily Driver tires.
225/50 might be more $$$??

Thanks

205/50/16's are an easier size to find and will give you a slight stretch.

i went w/ 205/45 front and 215/45 rear on a 17" wheel. you can find those sizes in 16's too iirc.

i searched way back and found one of jookybanana's old setups.

205/55 16s will be slightly stretch and are the stock size tires on S14s. If you wanna go a bit wider, 225/50 is also within spec. I doubt the prices on those 2 sizes are gonna be much different. Personally, id rock 225/50.

i had 205/55 on my 16'' volk mesh. They weren't stretched at all. Then again they were 7.5'' wide. I'd just run the 205/55 deal.

I'm running 225/50/16 on my 8" rears and 205/50/16 on 7" fronts.
No stretch at all =)

205/50/16 very slight strech. 205/55/16 no strech to much sidewall...thats my set up //16x8 0et// i wanted more streach so im lookin for 195/50-45/ 16's....

strech is good :)

[Dutchmalmiss]

strech is good :)

NOT if you're going for function. why not get the most out of your wheel? pay the extra 20 or so bucks for a 225/45 or 50

[MrFairlady]

Def trying to keep from having a Balloon'ass tires.
Not going for the widest as well

thanks

205/50's are sounding like a happy medium between 205/45 and 205/55

[sultan]

definately go 205/50, 205/55 looks like total shit on 16x8

[racepar1]

Stretch is lame man go for the biggest contact patch! Look at every racecar in the world they don't stretch their tires. I do agree that you don't want balooned tires though. 225/50 16's are flush.

225/50... I have it on mine and my fiancee's, her has +0 offset, and mine has +5, both 16x8 and they are flush.

Rear might require some fender rolling, but since you have +25mm offset, you maybe okay

[s13gold]

go with 225/50/16. i have on the rears.
i have them on right now. with 205/55/16 in the front.

rears look way better.

[MrFairlady]

WOW...so many choices,damn...for 1 I'm not sure how close to Flush these +25's are gonna be..thats why i may run a little 5mm spacer just to make sure...so Tire choise is tough to decide not knowing how they are actually gonna look.Heres my wheels on the prev owners ride 4x4 style:
