    16" With Low Pros & 60/50mm drop

    Ok, so Im leaning towards some black konig remembers now. The only con is they are 16", and I dont want to see tons of rubber. I would plan on using a real low profile tire with em. Would there be a wheel gap still? I dont want a gap, but I dont want big tires on 16s, which arent that big to start with. If there potentially would be a problem, I will just go with other wheels in a 17".

    BTW: Im gonna be installing the 60/50 lowtec drop this weekend.

    The smaller profile of a tire you go with, the more fender gap you're going to see. The only fix to get rid of the gap is to go lower.

      I'm running that exact setup, 60mm drop in the front with 205/50R16 and there is a wheel gap but IMO its perfect, its even all the way around the guard. I'll get you a pic tomoro morning.

          Run 215/45/16 RT-615s. They're slightly shorter, but not stupidly so.

            I got 225/40/16's, lower profile than most around here on 16's...

            I have no problem with fender gap, but I also have GC's which are probably lower than a 60/50 drop

              shittiness. I guess Im going 17"s, and possibly cutting these lowering springs if theyre not low enough.

                  Thats a nice drop on his car. Ive seen the pics of this 60/50, and they dont look low. At all. I'll let em settle, then I'll cut em.
