Like it states.. I got a set of 9x16 factory fuchs that are being redone. I want to get tires mounted while they are at the shop. Thinking 225-50-16 front on 7x16 and 245-50-16's on 9x16's rear. Any one running something like this that can share if any issues please. I know it all depends but I kinda need to make a choice fairly quick here.
I'm gonna get a set of RD steel flares to install so I can work them a little if need be. Thanks, |

Seem to remember the rear flares need the edges rolled for the wider tyres but not sure about the RD ones.
As the OP will know tire selection is important to retain gearbox ratios and speedo accuracy |
