I want to put 205/50/16 on my front rim but i want to make sure that i can do it.the rim i have is a 16x8.Im not to sure if that tire is to small for a 16x8 rim.If it is what about a 225/50/16.

 

well, i believe some came stock with a 215 so i'd say the 205'd work fine.

 

No, didn't not come with 215 or 205 (15" came with 215). It came with either 245/50/16 or 235/55/16. You can get 225/60/16, I have them, but I don't like them.

 

i would just go with the stock 245/50/16 or 255/50/16 if i were you, i think the 16x8s will look really ugly with 205 or 225s...too narrow unless you are going for that look

 

I know a 225/60R16 works on a 16x8 because that's what my winter tires are. 215s weren't in stock at the time I got the tires. Wanted as narrow of a tire as possible for winter traction.

My summer tires are 275/40R18 in the back and 245/45R17 in the front Unless these are strictly for the winter, get the 245/50R16 size.

 

I kind of want a little of a skinnier tire up front than a 245.I have a 245 now and a 255 in the back.Tryin to do little in the front and a bigger tire in the back.Also you guys keep sayin 60 series for a 16 will a 205/215/255/ be the same hieght as my 255/50/16?
Thanks
Anthony

 

245/50/16 = 25.7"
255/50/16 = 26.0"
205/60/16 = 25.7"
225/55/16 = 25.75"
215/60/16 = 26.15"

 

Thank you.But will the smaller tires fit on a 16x8 rim without having a problem?
thanks
Anth

 

I know my 225/60R16s were easy to mount, so I don't see 215/60R16 being a problem.

Why do you want such skinny tires up front though? It will seriously affect handling. Then again not everyone cares as much about that as I do. If you're looking for a slick n skinny look, then buy some aftermarket wheels with slicks n skinnies. Just doesn't look right on stock rims, as mentioned.

 

I dont want them to be real skinny up front just smaller than the rears.I have centerline scorpion rims now and i dont want to buy new ones cause i like these. heres my rims

Heres the car
