does anyone know if 235/45/16' will fit on the 16*7 on an EK?
because i have heard many ppl recommending the 205*45*16 specs.

235 will be a bit too wide for a 7 inch rim. It might fit, but you'll get a bit of ballooning in the sidewalls.

secondly, that profile (235/45) will mean that the rolling diameter will be alot bigger than your stock wheel diameter. meaning you will lose out in acceleration and your speedo will be reading too slow for the speed you are actually going.
