Nice find. It's nice to be able to use that as a visual showing how the offset works and whatnot.

I thought so at first, but this one can calculate the difference between various offsets on wheels and the tires you put on them. It helps you tell if a certain setup will rub on the fenders or struts.

Hmm, interesting. According to this thing I could probably run some 225/45R16's on the P5.

*sigh* Tire sizes are no where near exact. See 205 Falken Azenis RT-215 and 615s and 195 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R. Just because you have 225 mm of space under there doesn't mean the tire will actually fit. It's just like shoe sizes. Hell, I tried on 2 pair of sketcher yesterday. 1 size 10 fit perfect. The other size 10 was about 1/2 size too big. The same goes for tires. Different brands / models have their own fudge factor. Also, the width of the wheel the tire is mounted on plays a great part in the final proportions of the tire (ie, percieved tread width, how tall it is, etc)

(deadhorse


That being said, with the right offset 16x7 wheel, I've seen a 225 45 16 Hankook RS2 Z212 fit on the P5.

LOL, 4 month bump? Yep, I understand tires are all different and that more often than not 225 is not 225 mm - Azenis are wide as hell! Yeah I plan on running a similar setup to Rogue's old one (the Rotas, etc.) should work, just need money...

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit

edit. enter a stock size first, and then the one you are comparing, and it will alert if its not good.

example comparing stock wheels on a p5 to others.
