hi,

im on 205/45/16 with adjustables/coilovers.

2 finger gap at the front, 3 finger gap at the back.

but it looks hideous. rim seems smaller.
im searching for people with same tyre size, and lowered ride that looks great.

please share your pics.

-picture
-how low is your ride? (finger gap)both front and back
-what is your camber value at the front and back?
-does it rub?

 

im on 205 50 16 lowered on sportlines.

 

pics please

 

I'm lowered (springs only) and on 17" DR-33's with Falken Ziex ZE-512 215/45ZR17. I had 205/40ZR17 tires and had the same GAP issue.







Lowered on Drop Zone springs (1.5"-2" drop)
Snug up front and two finger in the back. (looks like more tho )
No Rub (+45 offset)
I know you're looking for info and pics with 16's but maybe this will help anyways.

thanks bro, im still looking for 245/45/16...

those who have this, please post...

i should have opted for 245/45/17 or 195/55/16 or 245/50/16 which would have better looks...garh

 

205/45R16 is way off spec from stock. It's 3.13% smaller than stock so you will have lots of fender gap plus it throws off you mileage counter... I won't recommend this. But if you insist on using them... the only way you can rid of that fender gap is to drop it more. 245/45R16 still is 2.73% bigger than stock. Same effect but this time your mpg will take a hit and that thing is just damn too wide for what the FIT is. 195/55/16 would be 1.76% larger than stock. 245/50R16 is waaaaaay too big... don't even go there

205/50R16 is where you want it to be... a difference of only 0.25% larger which should be negligible. Stock is 24.01" vs. 24.07" on 205/50R1... perfect!!!

I run 17x7 with 195/45R17 on Swift springs... overall diameter is only 0.1% smaller... perfect!!!

 

what about 195/50/16?

 

same what about 195 50 16

 

Way too small. Use this calculator: Tire size calculator. 205/50R16 is the closest to stock (least penalties to mpg).

 

You should get 205/50/16. It's the closest to the regular size and will lessen the fender gap. I've had zero problems running that combo.

 

I want to lessen my fender gaps more. im lowered on Progress springs which is only about an inch Would going to 205/50/16 help decrese my gaps???
