Tire Help

I didn't think they even made the 02's anymore.Anyway, I got all 4 03's from the tirerack for like $800

The S-02's are still in production. For some odd reason there have been rumors flying aroud saying they aren't or that they are being canceled, but rest assured neither are true.

I'll just post my quick question in here, rather then starting a whole new thread. What would the ideal size tire be for say a 16x7 rim? 225/50?

[Kracka]

A 225/50-16 tire would fit fine and would be the size I'd choose. A 205/55-16 would also fit but be a bit stretched. A 235/45-16 would have some sidewall buldge. When comparing tires, also be sure to look at actual contact patch width.

me612 - 225mm divided by 25.4 = 8.8 inches wide.

Kracka - Why would a 225mm wide tire fit fine and a 205mm wide tire be stretched?

Because its skinnier and you'll get the reverse of tire buldge (I have always referred to it as a stretched sidewall).
