    Tire Advice 16x7.5

    Hey guys, just got some ACS Type 1's (16x7.5 et25). I need at least 5mm spacers up front to clear the BBK and was planning on doing 8mm in the rear bringing the final et to 20F and 17R. I've been back and forth between tires a hundred times and need help making a final decision.

    Here's what i'm between for the ACS-

    215/45/16 Falken RT-615K 130$
    225/45/16 KDW-2's 142$
    205/50/16 ?
    215/45/16 Kuhmo XS (cheap but i've heard scary in the wet.
    225/45/16 Toyo R1R but they are expensive with low treadwear and can't be stored in the cold.

    I originally wanted to use the ACS's for Autocross but they may be to heavy/nice. I could use my LM reps (16x7 et20) and get autocross tires for them. ughh decisions decisions...

    Thanks in advance guys

    I had the 225/45kdws on my azev A 16x7.5 et20. I received so many compliments for the look and impressive performance of these tires. Well worth the money.
    Rear fenders had to be slightly flared.

      I had KDWs on my euroweaves back when they made them in 205/55 but when I went to 16x7.5, I again went with KDWs 225/45/16. Plenty of stick, a bit loud, flat spots but they work out after a mile.

        My rears are rolled pretty good, is et 17 to much? should i stick with et20? don't really want to rub everywhere.
