what kind of tire and what size are you running? and if you feel like it...what kind of wheels are you running?

 

yoko avs es100
205/45/16 (the right size)
rota c8's

 

i agree, i ran 205/40/16 and ride was too rough, do-able, but coulda used a little more cushion

 

I ran 205/45 with my 16s....

 

I had 205/40/16 the first time I got my 16's and all I ended up doing was bending my SSR's (plus I had the shitty NT450's). Since then I've switched to Yoko Parada Spec II's in 45 series and I love them.

Just a word of caution though, depending on your wheel offset, if you have a wheel that is less than +42mm offset (I have +37mm) you might want to make sure that your alignment is up to spec and that your ride height compliments the sidewall height of the tire. There is only a certain height I can put my car or else I'll rub taking corners and whatnot.

 

i have 205-40-16...the ride isnt too bad but i can deal with it...it doesnt bother me

motegi mr5's here

 

:ugh:

 

Kosei K1's 16x7.5 all the way around. I bought them used with 215/40 Kumho 712's and they were good (had some rubbing issues in the back and had to grind down the front end of the rear upper arm/dog bone but they're good now). I replaced the tires this summer with 205/45 Kumho's and it seems to ride a little better. It's still stiff and the road still tries to grab the wheel sometimes but I haven't dented a rim yet and I don't baby my cars around. If I had it all to do over, I would have probably stuck with a 15" rim and a 50/55 tire just for the comfort and extra cushion but I'm happy with my setup (putting my stock 14's with snow tires on makes the car feel like a caddy). I'm also running Progress group springs on Tokico Illlumina's and I need a rear camber kit but no major rubbing issues.

 

Technically 205/40/16 is the correct size, as far as diameter. But when I ran 16's, 45 profile was the way to go.
