    Pic Request: 16 x 8.5 w/ 205/45/16 Tires

    Does anyone have these specs?? I am assuming so.

    Right now I have Schmidt TH Lines in the following sizes:

    16 x 8.5 (205/50)
    and
    16 x 9.5 (215/45)

    I am going to remove the 4" outer barrel on the rears and add a 3". The wheels will be 8.5" all around. I also think the 205/50 is a touch "meaty" for what I am going for. Thinking square 205/45's may be the answer.

    Also, I will shortly have a brand new set of Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's up for sale, still with the stickers. Sizes listed above.

      Thanks for the pic. Do you have an opinion of that size? Have you considered 205/40 or is that too small of a diameter?

          Run a 205/45 .

          Federal 595 RSRs run wider and are a GREAT tire for the price ! Highly recommend . Got mine from sticky tires on eBay

            I currently run 205/45 square on 16x8 front and 16x9 rear. My offset is et23 front and et14 rear. I still run 10mm spacer front and rear, but to be completely honest, I'm leaning towards better tire specs next time.
