    need tire and size opinons

    Wanted some opinions on what size tire to put on my car. It's a 89 325i lowered on lensos bsx 16x7.5. I currently have 2 new falkens 502's 205/40/16 in the front car but my rears are shot...
    I threw a spare on the rear of the car today..A 185/40/16 and sort of liked the beefer tire in the back. I am drawn between the two looks..looking for some opinions..... My 3 options are to go bigger in the back and leave the falkens in the front, buy the 2 new falkens for the rear same size as the fronts...Or just go a different size all together for all 4 What do you guys think or recommend?

    I dont have a good side picture for reference.

    Since you are getting rear tires, you may be able to fit 225/45-16, which will be the same diameter as the stock tires of 196/65-14.
    The 205/40-16 you have in the front, have a smaller diameter than the stock tires.
