    Pics of 205/55/16 on 9" rim?

    Trying to get a feel how much of a stretch it is going to be. Have 225s in the garage for new rims, but e28 drives way better on 205 or 215 thus the question.

    Thanks.

          Yeah, too much sidewall to make that kind of stretch.

              It is no e30. It needs meat.

                205/45 on a 16x9 if that helps in anyway.

                  "drives better" on 205 or 215? How does that make sense? You've got decent sized tires already, why don't you just use them?

                    Thanks. I guess 225/50 it is... :neutral:

                      Nah it really won't be too bad. The tall sidewall makes the stretch seem way less than it is. It will still look stretched but not like that ^


                      for instance, this is a 205/50 on a 10.5



                      Your tire is taller and your wheel is skinnier than that
