    245/35/ r16 or wider ?

    I have an ls1 swap on my e30 and I have serious traction problems all the way to 5th gear :D with my current setup.
    I have 16x8 and 16x9 with 205 and 215's in the back.
    I have been trying to track down some low profile 16' tires but it seems impossible to find them in the country.
    Do you guys know anywere that sells or import's toyo's t1r 245/35/ r16 or 245/45/r16 ?

    Thanks

      Time to step up to 17's, there aren't any good options in 16's and even if you did find those the T1R's aren't very good

        Can't get anything that low of a profile in 16 bigger than 235 or 225 I'll have to check mine to let ya know. 17's or 15s will give you a lot more options

          Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm going put my rims for sale and get something in 17", the car has no traction...

            Im running 255/40/17 rs3 tires in the rear, traction is really good when its above 65 degrees. Fender flares and better axles are a must however.

              Doesn't tirerack sell 245/45/16 T1R's? I'm planning to buy two to complete a half set I have.

                That's what I am running 245/45/16 toyo. But those tires were the cheapest option
                I feel like my bfgoodrich 225/45 grabbed as good or better
