16" instead of? 15"?

ya. I went 16x8 instead of 15x8

Ah, im running SCCA HS, so can only do a +/- 1" size change, so 15" isn't an option, why I was curious.

Yeah, I run with just local groups, but I didn’t like the offset of the 15” options (too much poke) but the good 200 TW tires for 16’s seem to be slim pickings now that the RE71s are being phased out.

I mean you have:
- Azenis RT660
- Rival 1.5S
- A052 (though not in 45 sidewall)

All of the above are pretty good IMO. I love the RT660s on my Scion. Will be running them on my Fiesta in XSA this season

Yeah, I'm going with the RT660s because the Rivals are just so much more expensive

Here are my 225/45/15 mounting on a 7.5 Rota Slipstream, my old tires are 205 Falken for comparison. they look wider than 225 to me

 

[M-Sport fan]

they look wider than 225 to me

That's because the DOT 100/200 tread wear Nankangs all have THE widest tread width, as compared to any of the other DOT 'race' tires.

I WISH that they would release these CR-1s in more of the 16" and 17" sizes already.
