tire size sport max 002

[MyLaDyZ]

I have the gold sport max 002 16x8 3 inch lip,

 

I just wanted to see what tire size you guys think i should get.

 

I was thinking about 225/50/16 all around

or

225/50/16 front and 245/50/16 rear will this make a big difference

 

open to any suggestions

I would stagger the tire size, and run 235's on the front, 245's on the rear.

Depending on your budget and cashflow, the staggered tire size suggestion could be good or bad.

 

Staggered tire setups don't allow you to rotate the wheels front to back, and can suffer from tire longevity issues (in terms of one end vs the other).

 

If "money ain't a thang" and you like the look, go for it!

 

 

For me (low bucks, low steady cashflow), I prefer the same tires all around. I get longer life (time) by being able to rotate. I can save for a new set of tires over a longer period of time.

 

 

Pay less at shorter intervals or more at longer ones.

 

 

In the future, I plan on a symmetrical setup. I plan to get good fitment by slightly spacing out the rear wheels.

 

 

Side note: the admins don't take kindly to the same post in multiple forums. I'd delete the one in the s30 area.

Mine has 225's on all 4 with the fenders rolled on lowering springs. They are pretty close to the fenders in the rear. This is with the same wheel you have.

thanks and sorry about that

 

i will be using flares so rubbing wouldnt be a issue.

 

But i did think about not being able to rotate the tires that does kind of suck.

 

the tires im getting are kumho ectsa act $66-$70 a piece on tirerack, so these aren't really expensive tires
