Anyone rocking this setup
Hey Guys,
It's time for new wheels and tires, currently I'm on Drag DR38 17's with some awful Falken 612's which are 195/45/17's. Before this setup I had some 16's with 195/55/16's (or maybe they were 50's?) and it looked pretty good. I have Koni Yellows sitting on H-Sport springs.
Is anyone rocking 16's with 195/45/16's with a moderate lowering? If so can you post some pictures?
Thanks in advance!

195/45-16 is not a recommended MINI size, tire selection is very limited-
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...erformance=ALL
It fits wheels 6-7.5" wide, perfect for 6.5" wide rim, is small at 22.8" tire diameter vs OEM 24.3". This lowers ride clearance from ground, changes odometer and speedometer readings, and can widen wheel gap.
If you are going for a tire stretched look or slammed look then you are on the right track. Depends on which width 16" wheel you run.
16x9" et15, Toyo 195/45-16 tire, lowered suspension.
If you like your DR38 wheels why not consider-
Yokohama S.drive (Ultra High Perf Summer tire)
195/45-17 $108 each, 300 treadwear, 23.9" tire diam.
205/40-17 $100 each, 23.5" tire diam.
