tire sizes for 16x8 and 16x7 wheels
Are these the normal sizes or should I use a different size.
16x8 = 225/50R16
16x7 = 205/55R16
thanks

those are the normal sizes for street set-up. You can go 245/45/16 R & 225/45/16 F fo ra track and/or AX set-up.

It doesnt matter if your just on the street. Its just extra money for the bigger sizes usually.

Wait is this for the 951 or the NA?
If it is the NA go for the 205/225.

Winter tires are better when skinnier.

+1 - skinnier is better if you're going to do a winter only setup.
