I have started to fit my new flares. I have Fuch's all around, 16x8 on the back and 16x7 on the front. I have been to 3 tires shops here in Seattle and I am frustrated as no one seems to be able give advice unless they match to a car year and model.
What do you all recommend? I want a lower profile, a flat to receding sidewall and good looks. Here are some project shots... Phase 3 Phase 3 - 2 TIA! Larouex |

225 is the widest that I would go on an 8X16, yes, a 245 will fit, but it bulges losing any benefit of the wider tire by increasing the flex in the sidewall. Just because something kits, doesn't mean it is a good fit, think of fat chicks in spandex at the mall.
