I am planning on buying rota c8s or 10s in bronze color. Would size 205/50/16 or 205/45/16 be good for these tires? Also does anybody know about or where I can find info on what it means to have z, w, etc. RATED tires? Thanks.

 

if you want to remain as close to the OEM diameter as possible, you will want 205-45-16s.

www.tirerack.com has LOADS of information on tires, including sidewall numbers. but to answer quickly, the "z" is the speed rating; which is how fast the car can go on those tires on a allotted amount of time.

what tires are you looking at?

hey if you want i have some Toyo Proxes FZ4 205/50z/16 tires for sale. I'm only letting these go for $100. I bought them for $250. These are almost brand new..i only ran these for probably less than 1km then took them off because i'm going back to stock and to help pay off some bills. They all have about 99%..like I said..they're still new. No inner wear or outter wear. Let me know if you're interested. email me at matr1xhawj@hotmail.com

 

I use 215/55R16 in the rear. :chuckles:

Useful toy, nevermind that it says Miata, tires are all the same:
