You're doing it wrong grasshopper.

16x9 are awesome, i have stiff springs and full shock travel and i have never hit a thing

[coreyw]

No...

Thank you for explaining...

225/50/16, I had raise my coilovers from being all the way threaded down to being all the way threaded up to even THINK of getting the tire to clear the fender, thats where most of the ride height was gained.

I still don't get it, or I must be misunderstanding something.

So you only have to raise the car because a) you have wider wheels/tires or lower offset thus you need to raise to avoid rubbing on fenders or b) your tires were undersized before. Because otherwise:

I had 195/50's before on a 15" wheel
I now have 225/50's

What coils do you have?

This thread is pointless and has more to do with you running undersized tires (sidewall) on your old setup and adjusting your suspension than it has to do with the size of your wheels.

He's going from 22.7 inch tire to a proper 24.9 inch tire. Jesus guys this isn't fucking rocket science. Close the thread.

Little things are big things for lolcantturn.

I'm beginning to see that it holds true for most of R3V...

[MR 325]

I don't get it, if you're buying the right tire sizes shouldn't they have the same overall diameter, thus the same ride height? It'd only be off fractions of an inch.

Exactly, THANK YOU. I am tired of this misconception.

Actually, he went from undersized tires to oversized tires. 225/50/16 is one size too tall.

^^ This, 225/45/16 is perfect, thats what im running on the rear on my 16x9s and love it. 15s are fine, just run a 225/50 and problem solved....

[e30lov]

I monster truck over things on my 17x9.5s

so 17s do it better according to this logic

[lolcantturn]

you guys are taking this thread way too seriously by the way.
