Which of these sizes would fit a 16x7 wheel better?

215/55-16215/50-16225/55-16225/50-16

Also, which offset will fit a S13 with 16x7: +25 or +33?

Thanks!

out of those it's 215/55-16 although 205 is optimal.

and out of those two, the +33 would be a betteer choice.

FYI, I found this out in less then two minutes. I'm not gonna flame you but it's a garantee that someone else will if you don't do a little searching before asking. ;)

Well, the thing is I don't know where to look. I remember searching the web and coming up with different answers. Where did you find this out? Thank you!

either offset will work with that wheel width, even with coilovers. you may want to run a 225-50-16, it'll fit fine, without much bulge, if any, and comes in many sticky tires.

too bad a 215-55-16 isnt exactly an easy find.-chet
