225/50/16

Just got my new rims WOOOH!!! ill post pics soon, i need a good wash.
But i really wanna get 225's. Can someone with 16's help me out.

Thanks alot

 

[.mazda.speed.]

Oh and the rims have a 45 offset!!

Nope it wont. It will rub with the 225 from what i read. Unless your car is stock hight, then you might rub still haha.

Justinlandsdale is running 205/40/16, buts hes one of the lowest daily driven protege's out there. You can run 215 I know that, but anything bigger is risky.

That looks SOOOOO good, I am so happy i went with 16's!
I really want to get the 225 under there.
Where does it rub, and is it on the front or the back?

 

[Outlawstar98]

i THINK 225 rubs on both.

So with rolled fenders it will be alright?
It doesnt rub on suspension ?

Ok I'm a retard (braindead when it comes to wheels fitting not fitting but I was looking at a nice set of wheels (bbs) that are 5x114 with 225 45 17 tires on em and a 53 offset. I'm completely stock, so will these fit????(huh)

I have 17x7j offset 42 installed with 205/40/17 tires. Also, I got 14mm (front) and 10mm (rear) spacers. front and Rear Fenders are rolled but rub the front fenders somtimes.

 

[.mazda.speed.]

How does that rub? that is smaller then stock?
And the Offset isn't that low?

 

[supergti]

I guess i misundserstand the meaning of rolled... Does that mean make the fender wider??

TWSS! LOL

ok no, the offset is wrong for a wider tire.

 

[supergti]

the spacers make front tires wider than fender

 

[SwirlFX]

What size tire?

215/45/17 BF Goodrich SuperSport A/S

I need some closer photos. This is all I have right now.

No. It bends the metal lip inside the fenderwell upwards. To make a few more mm's of clearance. No exterior difference in appearance.

Here is a video of the process. You cant see to much but you get the idea.
