**Jumanji** · 16-05-2014 08:38 AM

Hey guys, recently purchased a set of rota Grid rims, the dimensions of the rims were 16x7 +40mm I got them out yesterday and Measured and they came out to be 16x7.9 inches?
Now for my tyre choice I cannot seem to decide (My car is a DC2 Integra) what size I like a very small amount of stretch but not too much right now I am tossing up between 195/45/16 and 205/45/16 Im leaning more toward the 195 but Im looking for advice? If anyone has photos of this setup or Rims of that Size Id really appreciate it!
Thanks

First of all, how did you measure them? The width is from the inside of the bead mounting faces See the pic below:

Secondly, you can run 195 or 205 OK on a 7"rim. 7" is probably towards the upper end of a 195 tyre, but most manufacturers will be OK with this. 205 tyres are generally made for 5.5" to 7.5" rims so again this should be fine.
