ComicArtist Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Trying to find a 16x10 or 16x11 for the back. Having some trouble finding anything that isn't an offroad wheel. Anybody finding anything? I'm looking at some 16x9 +15's right now, but that's not quite as wide as I'm looking to run. I'm wanting to fill up some ZG flares while running 2 - 3 degrees of neg camber. Something like this. Maybe not QUITE as extreme. But close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torynich Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The problem with going that wide is nobody makes a 16 in. tire wider than a 225/50 that I've been able to find, unless that super tire stretch is what you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have 16x10 diamond racing rims on my s130, I run a 265/45/16 Khumo Ecsta XS tire. Only tire I could find to fit i that wasn't a track tire and was DOT legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) You can run 255/50/16's as well You can get Falken ZE512's in that size, various BFG's etc. They also sell 245/50/16's still through Kuhmo and some Falkens I believe. The 245/50's have the most decent selection if I remember right. I'm going to run some 16x10's on my 2+2 with some ZG flares, I'm going to either try some 225/50 Falken Azenis RT-615 or go with some 255/50 Falken ZE512's. Just have to figure out the right offset to make use of the ZG flare since my 2+2 has wider rear fenders stock. Also if your running wider tires you should have Negative offset, You need 4.5 in of backspacing on stock suspension to play it safe and your not going to get that with a 9 inch wheel with +15 offset. You could run a 8 inch wheel with tons of negative offset to sit it "flush" with a ZG flare if you wanted too, I think with some 16x9's with a -30ish offset you would be good to go, as all Z guy's using Watanabes pull it off fine and with a 9 inch you still have tire choices that aren't too extreme.

ComicArtist Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yeah I was planning on running no less than a 25mm spacer. I'm figuring I'm going to go with a 225, which should be a decent stretch on a 10. Enough to definitely be noticeable, but nothing too crazy. I couldn't imagine running a 265 on it lol From the way things are looking, tire choices in 15"s are looking to be considerably easier to find and cheaper. I buy most of my tires from used tire shops any way, since the only new tires I run are usually on the front of the drift car. As far as rears, I go through them too quick to worry about durability too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
