tyre sizes

[LOOPYLEE1965]

can anyone advise me of the best tyre size to suit a 16" x 7j ? i have 205/50/16s allround at the mo but am dropping 60mm soon and hope fullywould like wider tires at the rear would i get away with 215 or even 225 40s at the back and have 205 40s up front??? bearing in mind i dont relly want to mod the arches unless i HAVE to cheers peeps

205/50's is the proper size for it. i wouldn't go wider tyres on the back. i expect it will fine dropped 60mm as cars are on 15bbs's and the 16's with a 50 profile tyre are lik e 0.1% bigger.

cheers si i want to for a lower profile so i think ill just go fo 205/40/16s all round then m8

[Simon13]

why not 45's? personally i think that would be better but who am i. I would also go -40mm on the rear too. Unless your going 60mm for looks and cruising
