I'm currently running 15x7 cookie cutters with Kumho Ecsta V700 205/50's.

For my 2nd set of track wheels, I'd like to run Hoosiers and would prefer to go 16x7's instead of 15's. (This is a stock bodied car).

What are the odds I could squeeze some 215/40 Hoosiers under the car, on 16x7's? I am more worried about the fronts than the rears, as the rear fenders were significantly rolled and pulled and have a bunch of extra room with the current rubber.

The Hoosiers do not seem to be available in a 205/55R16 or 205/50 size, so my only other option looks like sticking with 205/50R15's (?)

I was hoping to have a "short" set and a "taller" set for different tracks. Obviously the 215/40R16's will still be a short tire with a big gearing impact.

Talk about waking the dead, this threads almost 2 years old. I was trying to figure out why Chris was still looking for Hoosiers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
JP, who's going to get their car painted first, you or me? You don't seem to be in any more of a hurry than me. At least I've got the LAPD theme going for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Now back to your previouly scheduled thread on tires.
