alex,

one more question. i'm now thinking to buy 16" rims. the offset of the tyre is 43mm. which will be a better fit for my mcs: 215/50 16, or 195/55 16? my car is lowered 1.0 f, and 1.2 in the back, hope u can help. :smile:

hi alex. was your 205/50-16 tire recommendation for a 16x7 rim? or a 6.5 or 7.5? i want to get a rim but only comes in 16x7 w/ 44 offset and would like a tire that has a very vertical sidewal, not rounded. what tire brand do you recommend? my car will be lowered too. thanks b

most 205-50- 16 can mount from 5.5 - 7.5 inch wheel widths.

Are you looking for all season, performance, or comfort?

hi alex. i prefer a performance tire. the look of the sidewall on a 16x7 rim is the most important thing. when you look at the car from behind i like the tire walls to be straighter like a kumho MX instead of a bubbly look like a s-02. i also sdon't want a tire that looks stretched or rounded looking. actually do you have a pic of this combination? thanks b
