Meaty Tires Thread

225/45/16 will work though. There's two cars a few pages back on stock suspension that have 0 rubbing.

225/45/16 is pretty meaty looking imo. I don't think I'd ever go 205s

 

[Kip2MyLou]

If I would 16 I'd definitely go 225/45. It looks awesome. Just have to get a 7 or larger wide wheel.

That's good to know . I might plan to lowered the car eventually. Do you think they will rub?

Now that I don't know. Will depend on width and offset of wheels. Those 2 are few pages back, are both stock suspension. They're on rota Slipstreams. Don't know the width and offset of those specific wheels. Looks awesome though.

Yea I saw that and they look good . The 205/50/16 looks good as well with stock suspension. I'm anticipating if I want 225/45/16 for a little extra meat .

They both look good. Might come down to your personal brand preference and available selection in those dimensions.

Wow. Looks amazing. Seriously.

Are the Rota Slips custom bolt pattern or available in 4x108??

Sorry to bother you , but do you have a side shot of your wheels in the day time ? I'm up in the air with 225/45/16 and 205/50/16

Might want to double check if those will rub or not. Not sure about 225/50 on stock suspension.

And I was looking at the garas too in 16s. Haven't seen many photos of 16 garas with meaty tires floating around. Unless I'm just missing them.

I meant 225/45. I haven't seen any either . 205/50 were the only ones I seen few pages back. I love assetto garas. Going for the black car with green wheels look.

I have my 5 spoke 15s on now and will probably get a set of 16s next spring. I just sold my stockers. I'll never use them now that I've found the meaty tire way. Ha.

That's what I probably would do when I get my sparcos . I prob sell my stockers with tires . Only have 465 miles on the car . Wonder why they can go for .

I have that combo. Some track pics but will post a reg shot later if can.

 

[FistSt215]

Ok cool need some tire options lol

I decided to try a smaller diameter wheel as a daily driving setup, before installing another 17inch set. My girlfriend will hopefully be very happy about this. A local seller had TSW Hockenheim wrapped with Dunlop DZ101 (205/50/R15). It is much better for the roads near me. I'll drive on them for awhile and see how I like it.

Sounds good. Waiting for those.

The problem is can't find 225/45/16 on tire rack. They only have 205/50 and 225/50 in 16
