To each his own on the opinion; but if the width of the tire stays the same then the percentage of the side wall does actually come into play. he knew what he was saying he just used a term that most people wouldn'tmy gawd are those ugly. brb poking my eyes out with a sharp stick.
there is no such thing as series 45/50 for tires. this sidewall number is a ratio. 195/50 is the same sidewall height as 215/45 and 245/40

isn't that what you're on now? 205/45?
your lip is gonna need to be slammed into the ground for you to not have wheel gap w those tires. try 195/50. could be et0 and still never touch the fender.91 DS S52 Slicktop, 91 Calypso M42, 89 Royalblau M20, 84 Bahama Beige 323i, M535, Euro e24, ap1

No it wont, going from GC coils all the way up it just needs an inch drop with that rubber to make the gap go away.Comment

um. no.
his front valence is only an inch off the ground - and he's got more than a few inches of wheel gap w the xxr 16x9's on 205/45. trust me - I test fit my mtechnica's on his car.91 DS S52 Slicktop, 91 Calypso M42, 89 Royalblau M20, 84 Bahama Beige 323i, M535, Euro e24, ap1

I'm running 205/40 on 16x9
But I am gonna test fit the 195/50 to see how it sits before I buy my tires

But on the right is my current set up and on the left is if I went with 205/45 in the front. Looks like the tires itself will raise my car ~.5" and fill in some wheel gap then I can drop my car ~0.5" to have it be the same height as I am now on my current set up.
