just got a set of 16x8 +10 offset wheels and need help selecting the best tire size combo.

1996 s14 w/ eibach sportlines

225/50-16 (front) 245/45-16 (rear)?????245/45-16 all around????245/45-16(front) 245/50-16(rear)????

i wouldn't mind the rear being a little higher since my muffler always dragging on driveway...would any of these fit and wht mods needed (rolling/pulling fenders)O

get them all the same size so you can rotate the fronts to the rear when they start to become worn.

getting a staggered tire setup on all around sized wheels is pointless imo...

205/55/16 all round ! will look the hottest !

or 225/50/16 all round will look spot on, on 8 inch rims.

I'd put 195/50's on them, but don't take my advice.

225/50R16 all around. That's what I'm running on my S13.

On s14, worse case is you have to roll (should be fine tho). No flaring needed as long as you run decent camber.

I have a question for everybody to. Some of you guys have seen my Ray's. Well I painted the centers gold, and polished the heck out of the lip. I took the tires off and considering putting 225/50/16 on them. Im also thinking about putting 205/50 or 55/16 on them, would that look streched at all? Also, there only a +33 offset so i'd need spacers cause they have to stay very flush. Is a 25mm spacer going to be about right with 205 or 225? These wheels are just used for street driving so im not worried about the big spacers.
