R56 with 225/50R16 v710

225/50R16 v710 on R56
So, how do they fit - any rubbing?
I ran 215/40R16 V710s last summer, but they look awfully small and I was hitting the rev limiter nearly every race. Also lots of wheelspin. The bigger tires seem like a better choice.

Haven't heard of anyone actually running that size tire. I run a 215/50/16 on a 7" wheel et40. They fit fine with my Mach V springs, i'll be installing h&r coilovers tomorrow and I'll report back on how that goes fitment wise. I think the 225 will fit fine depending on your wheel width/offset and the degree to which you are lowered.

Yes, the 215/50/16 would be ideal - I wish they made that in a V710 or A6.
I expect the 225 will fit though, as the car hasn't been lowered. My offset is et42.
Good luck on the install, you must really be looking forward to the test drive.
