ok i am trading my stock 15in rims off my 92 240sx hatch for a set of American racing rims that are 16in what size tire should i use on the 16's i want around stock height on my car

anyone?

Stock tire size is 195 60 15 right? If so I just need to know how wide the rim is for the 16.

If your just going for being as close to stock as possible than 205 50 16 would be perfect. If you wanna go for a very slight stretch than 195 50 16 would be good but would be a .5 inch smaller. If you wanted to go for a lower profile than you could go for a 45 % sidewall but will also result in a smaller tire. Also with tire size you can play with your final drive gear ratio with a side affect of speedo being a tad off. Let me know what look you like (hella flush, or muscle looking) and what the purpose is and ill figure out a good tire for you.

im more of a dont want to be riding on the ground person right now i feel the heat off the road and i dont like it lol i like to go with big as i can without rubbing cause my car sits low enough now i dont need any lower.





after i get this settled i got to pay to have my ac fixed. part of the lines get cold but the other part of the ac lines are hot and i dont get any cold air in the cab lol.

215/50r16 is perfect for you than....its only 1/4 inch taller and would look meaty. Also its a lower profile than the huge 60 profile tire that is stock so you get better handling without fealing every bump. That's my rec... That or the 205/50r16.

ok so im thinking about ordering some new rims for my car, i really want XXR 002's 16X8 0 offset gold in color. im wanting to go for a clean look , i have coilovers, i want to be high enough for a bodykit, but low enough so i dont have a any gap between my tire and fenders, and i dont want a big beefy looking tire , what would yall guys recommend. i really like the hellaflush style and thats what im going with idk if i want to do a camber kit or not., thanks

0 offset on an 8” wheel should put the wheel flush, if not past the fender. (0 offset means 4” on each side so take the wheel off and measure 4” from the hub and that's where the tire will bead to the rim, then the lip will go past 4”. That way you can get an idea where the rim will be) look at this link. a 225/45/16 is only like 1/4 smaller than a stock hight tire. You can go smaller get more stretch for the ”flush” look butb end up being a smaller tire than stock.
