need pictures of 45-16 tires with stock suspension

[sundevilMP5]

hey guys-

as the title says i'm looking for some pictures of 45-16 tires on stock suspension...it's that time and i'm thinking about going with some 45s instead of the stock 50 but i don't want an enormous wheel gap on the stock suspension

The difference in diameter between 195/50/16 and 205/45/16 is 10.5mm. Do you really think it will make a noticeable difference? (freak)

wheel gap? U'll get plenty. 45 or 50 series.

205/45/R16 Toyo T1S @ 35 psi with stock suspension

i've ordered a Eibach pro-kit. i might get some 205/50/R16 afterwards.

thanks...yeah...i already know that with 50 series tires the gap is already kinda big and with the 45s i'm worried it will really stand out badly

according to this, side wall on 195/50/R16 stock is 97.5mm (3.8"), 205/45/R16 92.3 mm(3.6"), therefore the wheel gap will increase about just 0.2", around 5 mm. no biggy really.

205/50/R16 will decrease the wheel gap by 0.2"

one of the reasons that i'm looking at the 205/50/R16 is that, most 205/45/R16 tyres have recommended rim width between 6.5"~7.5", our stock rim is 6".

205/50/R16, with recommended rim width between 5.5" ~ 7/7.5" should sit without any problem or doubt on our stock rim, but with 205/45/R16 - althought lots of people have them on the stocky, i'm a bit of paranoid about that our rim is a bit narrow.
