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? |

At some point the driver's side tire rubbed a bit on the inside, but not on the passenger side, so for some reason must have been a one hit wonder?
It appears for about every 20 points, is about 5/8" in width on the tire. Like from a 205 to a 225? On the front, when doing a full tilt either direction, just eyeballing it, going another 1" might be forcing the issue. I presume a wider tire would grow both directions, whereas a spacer just extends it out further? On the front tire, edge to fender lip is about 1 7/8", and on the back is 1 1/4" to edge of lip. I assume I could go to a 245 on the back w/o any issues? |
