I'm picking up some 16" wheels. I'm leaning toward the 205/50R16 profile tire. I debating between 205/50R16 or 205/45R16. Anyone have pictures of these different profiles on 16" wheels?

45 looks good on 16's do not go any lower. 50 would be slightly beefier, obviously

I figured that much. I just want to look at pics to see how big of a difference it is between the 2. I don't want to by too skinny or too fat of a tire.

I've got pics of my old 16s with 205/40/16 tires. Actually fit nice on the B13. But you might want to go with a wider tire. Maybe 215/40/16.

I had a hard time finding that size, but It did work really well.

i will never run anything less than a 45 series tire. Protect your wheels man!!

Then I think I will go for 215/45R16 or 215/50R16 :squint:

I hear that. That's why when I get 16" rims. 215/50/16 is the only size I'm gonna use.

what about keeping the gear ratios the same? I have 205 55 R15 on my SE-L and the gearing sucks compared to the 200SX and I think it is just the tire size. The SE-L will read 60 mph when I am actually doing about 65.

You just turn the boost controller up by one PSI, then.

Gearing problem=gone.
