I'm looking for a set of 7's and 8's but can't decide if I want to go 15" or 16". I'm leaning toward the 15" as I like a full sidewall, nothing smaller then 55 series and leaning toward 60 series tires. I like a softer ride and the car is strictly a weekender, no autox. TireRack seems to still have a pretty good selection in both sizes and I won't need anything wider than a 225 tire.
However; $$$ is always a consideration. So...which size are cheaper 15x8 or 16x8 in the long run? I've got a pair of 16x7 and would consider selling or trading if it makes sense to go to 15's. Kev |

I have notices that tire makers seem to be leaning torwards the larger dia. rims.
If you have a set of 16's already just get another set and your done. |

It is true in the past 5 or so years the trend has been to go big in wheel/tire size from the car manufacturers. I wonder with all these smaller fuel effiecient and hybrid cars coming out with tiny wheels if that will still be the case? |
