16 x 8, what size tyres on AE86?

[ONCE-NA]

I picked up some 16 x 8 Grids that had been on an R31, they came with 225/50/16's which are obviously too big (overall diameter). What are other people running?

I think I need 225/45/16 or maybey even 40's
And maybey 245/35/16 on the back.
If I can even get those sizes.

Guards are flared enough to fit these

225/45/16 FTG (For The Gay)


i think that 225/40/r16 would be good !

[sun_moon]

60 on a 14
50 on a 15
so i would say a 40 (at the max) on a 16

205/40-45

best bet. dont need the super wide tyres on the light car

[doony]

205/40 will be nice.

[Konakid]

+1 on 205/40

[sun_moon]

yeah for a light car like that 205 or a 215 i guess.

i just stated 225 as a safe bet not knowing the car it was for.

[bigm]

for an ae86, as per the thread title lol

[fantapants]

i run 195 45 16 ...... well grippy and a good amount of feedback from a slightly tighter sidewall.

depending on what u want the car to be good at, some larger tyres will increase traction to a point.

hell its not een like 195 is stretched on a 8 anyways.

[awang]

its either 40 or 45

[rymax86]

205/45 or 195/45 bro will be sweet. 195 myt b abit mor xpensiv.

[ONCE-NA]

They will be stretched a bit though wont they?

[bigm]

yes the 205s will be stretched a little bit. a little bit in from having a vertical sidewall

I had 215/45 on 16x7 back in the day, but on an 8" 215/40 would be better ;)
