What is the biggest/meatiest tire you can put on the 16/7.5 SSR Comps?

Thanks

You'll be happy with the bridgestone S03's in 205/50/16 size. they are very wide
for its size due to its bold shoulders. very meaty. :smile:

205 is comparable to a 225 from other brands.

205 is you best bet! and stretching them on a 7.5 inch wide wheel helps reduce potential for sidewall flex.
