I just ordered some gramlights 16x7.0 for my S13. Was wondering if 225/50/16 will fit... I know that many people running the 7.5 width use 225's but not sure if 7.0 is too narrow for that. Thanks..... I would rather run 215/50 but Toyo T1-S don't come in that size. Apparently its not a common size cuz most tires I like dont have it...so I figured I'd go wider rather than getting 215 in a higher profile.

If you are autocrossing go with the 205, if you are drag racing/street racing go with the 225.
