coming home tonight a stray piece of something hard took a chunk out of my rear drivers side tire sidewall. I have my konig ultra lights from my 07 can I get new tires so they will work on my 09??

 

No reason why it wouldn't. Throw some 195's on and be done with it. They will look a little small though.

 

what is their offset? you are not going to easily be able to run anything less that +45 without rubbing.

 

okay I checked they're +40 so I guess I'll just have to replace the one.

 

I dont know man, a 195-50-15 and 40mm may work. There is no harm in trying them on to see how they size up. i know when i pick up my fit and come spring when i start to have fun with it, ill first try my spoons on it, They have 195-50-15 on them. Althoguh to run this youll also have to be lowered or it would look retarded imo.

You can also do a 195-55-15 to add some beef but this will not handle as well.

and 195 isnt too small what so ever. the smaller tire will give you a betterv mpg which is mainly why we all bought this car to begine with amd will be 100% less likely to rub over the 205. You will also have better braking and acceleration will be better do to less rotational mass.


enjoy

 

so I checked with every open tire dealer on the island and not a single one has that tire. I need to check in with my dealer tomorrow, to see if they had any dealer takeoffs or another tire laying around?? FYI the beautiful side punctured tire had about 325 miles on it! I am so jacked. If I really wanted to use the konigs which are 15' with a +40 offset what would I have to do to the car and what size tires would I need on it??

thanks

 

Honestly, I just ansered everything above although,

we are talking about 5 bloody mm here, This isnt much. For example my s2000 had 16x7.5 65mm wheels on back and i now run a 17x9 63mm and i have a easy 10mm or room to play with if i wanted.

What could you do, get camber bolts and add some - camber but i say with the 195 tire you will be fine, this is aso if your pretty dropped, stock need not worrie.

 

Like AP One said, I think +40 you'll be OK, its when you get into the 30's you'll run into real trouble. You may just have some rubbing issues to deal with +44-+40. Im actually about to install my +43 16x7"s but have camber bolts to fixt the rubbing.

 

Even at 16x7 43mm you shoudl be 100% safe Id assume. Te 205 may make it close though. You could have a 16x9 43 and a 16x5 43 and they woudl both sit the same in relation to where it sits to the fender. The tire size will make up the diff here

Best of luck!
