Truth is, I have had 215 - 225s and 205s on them and they looked best with the 205s.

Height is really what I'm concerned about, kinda scurrred because I'm afraid of busting my oil pan if I'm too low.


Thoughts?

Is this going on your car or someone else's?
If the car is moderately lowered, 205/50 look great. Anything bigger, then you'll want a bigger tire to look right.

whats a good size for 16x7? 195/45? I need a bit of stretch. Would 205 be bubbly?

Is this for the benz or an e30? 205/45 will be nearly square, if not baby stretched. Car has to be low not to look goofy.

If you want stretch, than yes 195 on a x7 x50 looked really nice on my old ACS wheels.

Think thats to tall for me. its 16x7 +5. 205/45 sits nice and plush. Sig is a 205/40.

im just more concerned about under gearing, my speedometer already ready way high with 195/60/14s

So the verdict is that 205/50 is a perfect balance between Looks and Performance.

For the benzy. Thought about going lower, but im happy with the height.
I dont like the 205/40s I have on currently. To skimpy looking. 205/45s has a slight beef look with a bit of stretch on my 16x8s.
I want the same look with 7s though. Wont work for me if they sit square or I'll probably be eat my front fenders. Theyre already spaced 3/4in and cut and pulled another 1/2in

Maybe, not to concerned tho. I dont see myself breaking 80mph with the 75hp diesel to often. A bit undergeared would help me with take offs though.

Suggestions on tire sizing for 16x7.5 rims? I'm looking for a very minimal to no stretch if that makes any sense.......

205/50/16 is proper height! If you're not trying to be StanceMaster go with that size.

How would a 205/45 sit?

This is the size a lot of the 16x8 Style 5 guys run. It's 1 size too short so in my opinion only slammed cars can pull it off well.

195/60/14 is one size too short. ;) Stock is 195/65/14.

Thanks y'all.

165/40/13's....gangster white walls. TV antenna in the back. Airbrushed mural on the hood with Edwin as an Aztec warrior holding a naked woman.

I think a little stretch looks pretty good.
