Clearance issues with 16" wheels? (205/50/16)

[mylady'scar]

I just bought some 16" Motegi wheels with a 42 offset. The rim itself clears everything just fine. I'm about to mount some 205/50/16 tires on them. With the car still being at stock height will there be any clearance issues? It's about a half inch taller ride than stock when doing the math.

Anyone else running this tire size okay?

BS! you HAVE to mean 215, not 245... I'm going to try to stuff a 225 tire under there and its gonna be tight.

that said, at 205/50/16 you'll be FINE.

You will be fine with that tire size. I ran that size on Tribute wheels and I'm running it now on the MX-5 wheels.

 

[frankjuda]

No its not bs and my bad it a 235/45/17 and ill post a few pics later on tonight when I have my camera and my laptop

 

[Wagonbacker9]

wow thats still a lot of tire under these cars...

 

[frankjuda]

You know what it is but summers in chicago get hot so I need more rubber on the ground for better handling

I don't think you know the meaning of hot

 

[mylady'scar]

Thanks guys. They fit just fine.

Don't get me started on this Midwest hot is just as hot as Texas. 2 weeks ago here it averaged 105 with the heat index.

0 offset? BS.

 

[CTt3P5]

0 offset? BS.

I agree, considering the stock wheels on a P5 have a +50 offset. So if you are running 0 offset what width are the wheels?

4"? lol

 

[CTt3P5]

4"? lol

It all makes sense now....235/45/17 on a 17x4 wheel. Just how does a 235 series tire fit on a 4" wheel?

i'm not tryin to be a jerk, but given that he doesn't know the offset, I'll bet he's got the tire size wrong too.
