E30 Hartge 16” wheels tyre sizes

[SAP1]

Hello zoners!

Finally managed to source a set of 16” 4x100 Hartge alloys (non staggered set)

Does anyone on here know what the original tyre sizes of these wheels are?

Thanks

205/50 although I prefer wider tyres, 225/45

Hmm I’ve just had a look, not much tyre choice in the 225.

Do they look too thin or too balloon like with the 225 45?

These are 225x45:

Cheers for the input lads, I think 205 50 16 is looking like a better option due to tyre option and price too

Was that the original size on these?

As Dan says above, 205/50/16, same as the non-staggered Alpinas

As a comparison here is 225/40R16

How did you find it ride on the 225/40 Dan?

As there is nothing worth having in the 225/45 any more I was looking to go 225/50 on the rear 8" Alpinas, bit more protection now they are not exactly two a penny now

That really does look good! It’s unfortunate that it seems that no one stocks that size anymore

I changed to 225/45 because the ride was too hard on the shite roads, lost a little dry grip by doing so but nothing to worry about, out of this lot id be buying either the Yoko or the Nexen https://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s310p0/ ... ople_Carri…
