    Tire size Question?

    What is the max width tire i could run with my my rims. Im running 16" et40 TSW's with 25mm H&R spacers.

    Right now Im planning on going 205/45/16 But I was wondering with a fender roll could I stuff 225's under there?

    It'll most likely rub, but why not just get 225s if you that's what you wanna run. Worst case scenario, you can just trade those 25mm spacers for some 15mm.

      Those spacers are too big, and 205/45 would be undersized. As said above, you'd be better off with 15mm spacers, or maybe even 20 and as far as tires, you either want 205/50 or 225/45

          as stated above, your spacers are way too big. 20mm would work. 15mm would be ideal.

            ya, I have 15mm.. for some reason I kept thinking they were 25mm's. And I fixed my tire rack order, went for 225-45-16 es100's

                    You should be just about perfect with 225's and that rim setup.
