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?

I wonder how a low profile tire would look on it?

Spacer will give you more of a wheel flush with the body, but you have to be careful that it might be too far out and rub on turns.

What low profile tire size are you looking at?

Was asking about what size to use.

Where would wheel spacers be gotten at?
