Finally pulled the trigger and got some tires for my 16x6 fuch wheels. As expected, rear is rather tight and might end up doing a very little roll on the lip to fold it up a little to get a little more clearance. Overall pretty happy with the look. Just need to buy some center caps and its a done deal.
Went with 205x55x16 Yokohama Advan Sports  |

Good looking setup/car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I plan on keeping my car a narrow body and have two sets of Fuchs, 15x6 and 16x6 to choose from. Looks like the 205/55/16 is the recomended size for the 16" wheels. I thought they were fine on a narrow body. I don't really want to deform the original arches in the rear. Every car is a little different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) As for 15x6, tire selection is limited unfortunately especially if one wants to stick with close to original diameter. I guess 185/65-15 would be the size. Not sure how that would hold up with a 3.2/6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) EDIT: 195/60-15 were a nice compromise but are difficult to find today. |
