help with tire fitment please (no stretch)

[Wasefi]

I plan on getting a set of 16x8 et15 all the way around, also will roll fenders but no pull. I want to run a wide tire and keep it squared throughout all four wheels. The tire size that I am leaning towards is 225/45r16 but I really wanted to know if I could possibly fit a 245/45r16 and not have to worry about fitment issues.

Just in case your wondering which wheels they are, varrstoen v3

So to recap essentially I want squared setup, wide tires but not too tall. And fender rolling only no pull

Thanks in advance.

With that width and offset a 225/45 is going to be the most you can fit with rolled fenders.

What about if I change my offset? Because the wheels are also available in et25.

It would help but not sure if it'll work still without some pulling.

I run 16x7.5 et20 and run 225 all around, got the fenders rolled and had no issue of rubbing or anything

I ran 225s on a 7.5 inch rim before, offset was et20 with a 10mm spacer. Had a light pull and roll for the rear and would still rub when I accelerated hard.
I could live with that bit of rubbin but, I know alot of other people are annoyed by that.

Hopefully that helps you for your tire selection, good luck.

Here are my 16x7.5's with 225/45 These are at et30 I think. My lips are not rolled and if I went any wider on the offset I would definitely need to roll'em.

Thanks again for all the help!!! I just want to make sure I have somewhat of enough tire to get the e30 moving when the cammed s52 gets put in.

245/45 would not be right..... too tall of a tire. You'd need a 245/40 or 245/35. I've looked around and can't find anything decent in that size.

Isn't 225/45, and 245/45 the same as far as height is concerned?

[I8UR911]

No..... not even close

245/45/16

245mm / 45% height of the first number (245mm) / 16" wheel.

45% of 245mm is taller than 45% of 225mm.

225/45 will be pretty square and look perfect. No pulling required just a flat roll.

I'll post pics of mine in a little..

What's the offset on your setup?
