I've recently recieved a pair of tires for free: 205/45/R16. How will these look on an S14 SE? Will there be problems? Thanks ahead. EDIT: Stock SE rims

They will be fine, don't worry.

They will be kinda small and goofy looking, at least IMO. I ran a set of 215-40-16's on my front wheels for a couple weeks last winter and it was goofy as all hell. After a while, I got used to it though, and it makes the car sit lower oveall. I had a good set of 205-45-16s too but i sold them and got some 205-55's instead. Oh yea, you'll accelerate faster with the 45 series tires!

the size of the tires should be fine... you can't really complain too much if they were for free anyways. what tires are they anyways?

If they were free go for it.... they should look fine.

They'll fit on the wheels, but they are rediculously small. That's the tire size my GTI runs - 2" shorter in height than stock S14 tires.

If they're free, sell them for a profit and get proper 205/55's.

Furthermore, you shouldn't be concerned with how they'll look (silly) as much as how they'll perform (badly).
