Huuuge wheel poke. Is it too much?

[Jim Lepage]

They will fit. I have more poke than you're gonna have with my actual setup.

You missed the point of the comparison picture that guy posted. He was demonstrating to you how his 16x9 stuck out when just bolted onto te car in the air without tyre. It doesn't look too different to the pic of yours fitted with the adaptors.

16x8 -7 is about 10mm more aggressive than 16x9 +15 off the top of my head

Would 205/45 be a good stretch on 16x8 rims? I was thinking 195's...

a 205/45 would be a very slight stretch. And the problem with 195s is that only a few companies make them and they all run wide which is horrible for stretch. Just go 205/40. you wont be sorry.

205/40 on my 16x8s

There you go. I need adapters, and on top of that, my et smaller.

+1 on falken 512's.

I will only run them. Also, you will have a hard time finding a 185/45 in any size. If you do, be prepared to spend around $200 per tire.

It really doesnt matter what size you run in the front because you wont really have any clearance issures. The rear, try getting a 205/40 falken 512 as said before.

What was the lug pattern on those rims?

Different tires have different tread widths depending on how the manufacturer measures it, even if they're the same size. Falken 512's are the skinniest running tires you can buy, and you can use the clearance.

[mother_russia]

Those should fit great actually, the front will be almost exactly flush and the rear will poke about 1/4". Go with falken 512's, 205/40 if you're slammed or 205/45 if not

Why would it matter if I go with the falken 512's or anything else? Fitment should be based on tire specs, no?

I think you'll be poked but not too crazy. The issue I think you'll run into before poke will be the fact that you wont be able to stretch a tire on a 7" wide wheel. So the poke will be fine but the lack of stretch will most likely be the problem. Youll probably rub pretty hard.

I think I'll be running like 195/45 on the 16x8(rear) and 185/45 on the 16x7(front)....

Here's how my 16x9 et 15's looked just as a sort of comparison:



And they tucked in nicely when 225/45/16s were mounted and car was lowered. A fender roll was required of course. You might need an aggressive roll/pull too, but it's probably doable.

O hai guyz. My name is Robotin and I'm just a preteen that lurks around here trying to fit in. My best friend and I like to play with each other. I like gargling on his small balls; they just taste so good. I like to borrow my mom's beeter car and drive fast.

Fixed.
