I use some stock 16 inch 5 star MINI rims with 215/45-16's on them for aouto-x. No pictures. Did you just want pictures or did you have a question about the size tire or rims?

You should be OK for this size using stock X-lyte rims. Outer tire diameter is 24.5" and rim width range is 6 to 7.5" wide.

Tire selection might not be quite as good. You can always talk to alex@tirerack to see what they have for your needs. I saw in that size the Avon Tech M500 Ultra High performance summer tire for $91 each.

And I saw the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (ultra High performance summer tire) for $87 each

I'm looking to see the sidwall. I want to know how "ballooned" they look. I also want to make sure they will fit on the wheel.
