    Need some tire advice. 16x7 for AutoX

    Hey guys, I'm getting a set of BBS RX's (16x7 et35) to use as an Auto-x Setup. I'm torn between which tires to use though.
    205/50 Toyo R1R
    225/45 Toyo R1R
    or maybe 215/45 Kumho XS
    I'm open to any suggestions too.

    I have 4x 22mm H&R adapter style spacers already that would bring the offset to +13, or i could get new spacers (15mm with a final et of 20) to accommodate if i went with the 225's. On a 7" wide wheel is the 225/45 too much? Has anyone had experience with the new Toyo R1R?

    Thanks in advance!

    Here's my Autox setup



    K1's ET 27 on Toyo R888 205 50 r15

    205 is the perfect width for a 7" wide wheel any more and you will be compromising on steering response.

      205's are what I ran on my 7s. I would make sure the tires are not below a 140 treadwear so you can run stx. That's what most e30 run in. I ran the falken 615k's

          Thanks guys, I think I'll go with the 205/50 r1r's. After reading up it seems the kuhmos are scary in the wet and I may have to leave this setup on for a while for with the new bbk .
