16s are so hard to get tires for, especially in Canada.

I've dabbled looking at JDM tires. A lot more options for 15/16, Never bought anything.

When I first bought these wheels, a friend was working Saturdays at a dealer and would scope out their tire suppliers to find 225s, often on clearance because they're such a weird size.
I got a few sets that way, but now my cheapest option seems to be 225 Nankang NS-2 for $180/ea + shipping from PMCtire, or R888Rs from discounttiredirect for ~200/ea plus whatever duty.
245s seem to be out of the question altogether.
Only option seems to be to shell out for the 225s in a questionably street legal tire, or bump up to 225/50 (or just run a lighter 15x8 and enjoy cheaper tires)

A friend took these shots last year, but I forgot about this thread.







Front: 16x8 ET8 ESM 007 / Toyo T1R 225/45R16
Rear: 16x9 ET15 ESM 007 / Toyo T1R 245/45R16
Rear is a little lower now, had it maxed out during these pics because I had rubbing issues, realized I could lower it another .5" and still be fine-ish.
Tires aren't particularly sticky, still get wheelspin in 3rd when the weather is cool. Probably going to switch back to 15s before next year for tire availability.

Put some 16” rollers on while the car is getting the organ transplant.

Does this mean that there is an update coming soon for the build?
