Looking for tire size ideas.

I have a different thread discussing this but I wanted some opinions for the tire size I should run for either of these wheels.

STR 504 16x8 +30 5x114.3

XXR 002 16x7 +38 5x114.3

What would be the best tire size to give a little bit of stretch without having to roll my fenders at all. Im on BC coils right now. (scratch)

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think you'll be able to fit those wide wheels without rolling fenders. E-mail Rishie at sales@autornd.com. He is very familiar with the P5 and the sizes of wheels and tires that are possible for it. He helped me figure out what I could do when I was researching my tire size options for 16x8 +50 wheels.

i use this site when contemplating any wheel/tire size change:
http://www.rimsntires.com/specs0.jsp

that website and a tape measure will help you figure what wheel-tire combination will work best for you.

If I ended up running the 16x7 +38, what would yall recommend? a 205-40 or a 195-40?

 

[njaremka]

I would run 195/50 or 205/45

would a 195/45 work? i like a little bit of stretch with a smaller profile. would the sidewall look too small with a 195/45?
