I currently have on the front: 205/55 ZR16
Back: 225/50 ZR16 I was wondering if there is a better size for fit than what I currently have? |

Dumb question, but I know they are 16", but how do I know if they are 8", as in is it stamped on the wheel somewhere? I'm guessing they are.

I'm running the same width wheels and tires but adding a 1" spacer behind the front wheels to fill out the flare a bit. Great looking car btw |

I have fiberglass flares with 7" wheels front and 8" wheels on the rear.
Front: 225/50/16 Rear: 245/50/16 I could stand to push the wheels out a little with spacers to fill the flares. |

Mine looks like if I go any wider than 1/2" on the front, when turning it will be close to rubbing on the back of the fender well? Do you have any close up pics of yours? |
