I need tires for my flared car and have 16x7's in the rear and 16x6 up front. I do have spacers on all 4. I wish I had 7's all around but I don't sad.gif Anyone want some 6's smile.gif smile.gif

Will 225/50/16's be okay to put on the 6's? unsure.gif

Cheers

I would stick with 205's on the 6's However people are putting 205 hoosiers on 5.5" rims which are very close to a 225 carcass from what I read. Have you checked the recommended wheel width for the 225 tires (minimum)?

I just checked the recomended width of rim for 225 and the range is 6-8" They will look a little bulgy.

yeah stick w/ some 205 or 215s! the 225 would be wider but wouldnt give the best performance, better off w/ some that fit correct.

215's if you could.

If these where 15in rims that would be ok. but 16's its more of a fit than it should be and will hurt rather than help.

I had 225s on 7s & didn't think the wheels were wide enough....but that's just me.

If you need to off the 16x6's I am interested. I think I have one 16x7?

agree.gif Itll work for the time being, if youre planning ahead for sevens all around.
