I can finally post here
Stock suspension with 205/50r16 bfgoodrich g force sport comp-2 on 16x7 +42 sparco terras.

I'm going to order some spacer I'm thinking a 10mm will do. What do you guys think?

I did the 15mm Garageline spacers and they look nice and flush.

I had the 15mm spacers on my stock wheels and I friend of mime said that the back wheels were "wobbling" so I promptly removed them.

[ST_JOE]

Stock suspension.

Joe that is bad ass!!!

I'm definitely going 16x7 next year. That set up settles it. Looks great on stock suspension and that's what I'll be running.

 

[ST_JOE]

Thanks guys.

Finally bit the bullet and bought 16x7 sparco assetto gara green wrapped with general G max 205/50/16. Figure with winter coming up I went with all seasons . The reviews on G max were good and did good in light/ some what heavy snow. It got good ratings on light and heavy snow so I guess I can't got wrong . I had shitty sumotumo a/s last year winter on the svt focus .

I'll be going 16x7 next spring also. Just going to run my 15s I have on now in the winter with some skinny winter tires. Then get some 16s on 205/50 or 225/45. Those seem to be the 2 best sizes for 16s, from what I'm seeing.

 

[FistSt215]

Yup that's why I went 205/50/16 from pics they seem to have plenty of meat. Thinking about selling my oem silver wheels with tires . I think 300-350 with tires they're going for ?

And there's more options. I love my sport comp 2s and they come in 205/50 so I'll be doing them if they're still around next year. And I sold my whole oem set tires and all for 350. And the front 2 were pretty much bare. So that's a reasonable price.

Yeah but somebody might need an extra autocross set for cheap.

 

[FistSt215]

Yea that's true !!

So I'm eyeing a set of 16x8 wheels, but I'm pretty dead set on wrapping them in some Extremecontacts. The only sizes that are available that would fit are 215/55, 225/50, or 225/55. I feel like 55 is just to much sidewall. Will 225/50 fit on a 16x8 at stock height without rubbing?

 

[Plainrt]

Why not a better tire like star specs? Or something else. I think 50 series on 16 too beefy

215/50/16 should fit. That's the same size as the 215/45/17 some people are running. The others will be too big though.

I would go 225/45 and the Dunlop Direzza ZII but that's just me. 215/50 Direzza DZ comes in at under 100 though if you want the extra height and gearing.
