Hi,

Will 225/45-16" tires fit R53 without any rubbing in all the possible conditions such as full load, extreem turns? I gonna use 7,5-16" and 7-16" rims. What ranges of ETs for these sizes of rims should be used to avoid rubbing?

I am going to use Toyo R888

The best advice I can give you is find out the diameter of the actual tire.I am runing 225/50/16 on a 7 inch wheel, tires are reo1r's and are close to a 235 in many other brands.I had some rubbing and had to remove some material.I am also lowered.I think you should be fine with a 45 side wall.Also it will be easier and probably cheaper to run a 16x7 wheel, and you should be safe with a 40mm offset.Any ? let me know

 

225/45/16 Toyo T1R on 42 offset 16x7 rota slipstreams, lowered with Bilstein PSS9's.
autox'd several times on this setup no rubbing in daily driving... once in a while on full compression in a banked turn i'll knock the rear wheel arch loose, not off, just loose. I have noticed rubbing the liners at full lock.

 

have you ever ran 205/50/16 on those rims? I also have 16x7's and I want to go to a 225/45/16 but I'm not sure if the gains of a wider tire would be lost due to not having a 8 inch wide rim.
