hey thanks how many inchs ya reakon it is ? and tyre size ? jst estimation ?

[pablos8]

look like 16's to me

[tsol0811]

same to my eyes looks like 16 " with profile 205/16/40-45?

[dougie_504]

I'm thinking 17" with 205/40. Either way I recommend sticking to 15's for comfort, width/guard issues and tyre affordability.

looks like 17 to me. Maybe even 16, wheels can look bigger when dumped.
like others said, maybe 205/40/17

What he said - 17's are fairly uncomfortable. 16's is an OK compromise though imo. None will be as comfy though as your stock wheels. 17's + Low profiles = shitty ride

Do as you please though - form over function?

u think 17s are uncomfortable ... try 18" with low profile - had them on my liberty before going to a standard 17" WRX wheel ... was night and day difference

[dougie_504]

Just took my 205/40/17 off my Civic, now have 195/50/15 but with rear coils and front black pedders shocks with king springs. Still more comfortable, even with the rear coils.

Not to mention the 17's fecked my OEM shocks/springs which is why I upgraded.

[flipfire]

Those p1's look like 205/40/17

16" is a good size for EK's

[Red_EG4]

look like 16s to me.
I've got 16s with a 205/45 and it ain't too bad.

[anzai]

i wouldnt go higher than 16''. go 15'' for comfort/performace, 16'' for cosmetic

i rkn that black eg looks rreally hot because its slammed to the ground. raise it up a little and itll look 4wd. its cus the spokes on those wheels go all the way to the edge

[viinnh]

hey guys thanks, well i got a set of temp rims its some bsatop racing ones :S but yeh they 16 " what tyre size would you guys recommend for that ?? 205/45/16 or 205/40/16 ?? i dont want a bumpy ride and i dont want a fwd lol

[Red_EG4]

i dont want a fwd lol
little bit late for that LOL
the tyre's don't really make much difference to your height, especially not 5 percent profile difference.

[viinnh]

LMAO yeh but 15's seem so small :( so yeh ... would it be better if i got 205/45 all rounds, 205/40 all rounds or 205/45 front and 205/40 rear ??

205/40/R16
I never thought I'd go bigger than 15" but now that I have 16's I wouldn't have it any other way

[viinnh]

whoa hot dayumm !! nice eg man bumpy ride ??

[anzai]

if 16'', the way i look at it:

205/40 for looks
205/45 for protection so you dont buckle your rims the second you hit a massive pothole =p

but i went through some photos to see if theres ne difference between these two, and you can actually tell if its a 40 or 45 profile. in my eyes the 45 profile looks substantially bigger compared to 40, so more meaty sidewall (unless youre tucking in of course)

and in your case for eg i think 205/40 will have a similar rolling diameter to your stock wheels, where 205/45 will be bigger so you will be going faster than what your speedo says.

my best friend when i was in the market for rims: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

[anzai]

and yes with 205/40 you will have more bumpier ride, i used to rock 205/40 on 17'' ride quality was shyte, now 195/50r15 is best!

[viinnh]

cool, so itd tuckd but not slammed ? Whatif its near tucked would it hit a guard over a small bump????

[anzai]

near tucked lol just get your guards rolled to be on the safe side

[viinnh]

ohh okay, what do you mean by rollled ? lOL

[anzai]

[viinnh]

[pablos8]

Pm me about rolling ur guards, can do it for u

[viinnh]

pm sent

not due to the tyre/rim combo. I have Tein suspension which felt stiff even when I was rockin' 14s.
My guards aren't rolled and I only get a bit of scrub when I'm full lock to the left.

[viinnh]

shit my sus are pretty soft .. i can push the car down on the front like 1 inch , so as the back :S
