looking for 16' 17' wheels that will take 225 tires

[Fenvy]

I want to mount 225 tires on some wheels, I haven't got the wheels yet that's why I need your help.

I don't care how it looks, I don't care if it's ugly. I am trying to find out the right size for s13 with sportline/agx

I would need the wheel to fit one of those tires in the bottm...

225/50VR15 225/45WR16 225/50WR16 225/55WR16

is 15x7/16x7 wide enough to fit the size of tire mentioned? rolling fender/spacer/hub is not an optional

I have a feeling that I am about to be flamed

I found 225/45-16 hard to find, ended up running 215/50-16. 7-8inch rim width would run 225 section width. Front and rear fenders swallow the tires easy enough.

[Fenvy]

are you SURE, that 15x7 or 16x7 will have no problem with 225?

I'll be damn pissed if it doesn't fit haha

[Hijacker]

i'm running 225/50R16. My wheels are 16x7. Enkei MM2

[Fenvy]

found some wheels: 15x7 +40mm

I will be using 225/50VR15 tires on it... any clearance issue?

[masticatingcow]

No, that should fit fine. If ever +40 offset is to be your friend, it will be now.

[Fenvy]

found another deal... also 15x7 but looks like it wil be lower offset... for 225 what you think?

[Fenvy]

another pick

looks like the coating is coming off though

Um are you running coilovers? If not, i don't think you'll have any issues running 225/50/15/ or 225/50/16. If it makes it any easier, look at the Z32, the n/a model runs 225/50/16 stock on +43 wheels so 225/50 isn't anything drastic for the s13. I'm getting some 15x7 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's soon (+35) and i plan to run 225/50 myself. I asked my friend Paul (movingviolation240) what he ran on his old s13 and he told me that tire size all the way around was fine. No rubbing. I don't have coilovers though.

Check out Team Dynamics' offerings, they have nice lightweight wheels in the 'race' series.
