I am getting a set of bbs mesh 16x7.5/16x8.5 +14 and I wanted to run my stock size 205/55/16 for now and was wondering how stretched it would be? I know it will be very stretched but I wanted to see some pics if anyone had any? the fronts are probably about as stretched as they should go so the backs are going to be very stretched looking.

205/55 will be less stretched due to the bigger sidewall.

out of curiosity......where are you getting the wheels from, and do you have any pics? I ask because theres been a set floating around with those measurements for a while that a few 240 owners have bought and mysteriously ditched quickly afterwards.

I bought them from Tire Rack which is the exclusive distributor of the Kosei K1 wheels. I don't have a problem with them. They fit fine, but I have decided to run 17" instead.

Hey thanks for posting up the pics the stretch looks good, I just dont feel the need to run anything wider on my wimpy ka so until I get more power the 205's will do. also a lot cheaper :)
