tire sizes on the stock Solara 16's
Hey guys,
I was using this site, http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html , to figure out what tires would fit the stock 16's, at a lower aspect ratio. The stock tires are 205/60-16. Using that site, I found out that 225/55-16 would only affect the speedometer by 0.2% and 245/50-16 would only affect the speedometer by 0.2% also. So those two tire sizes seem pretty decent, only problem is, do you guys know if 225 and 245 will clear the fender on the Solara? I'm thinking bout getting the 225/55, wider tires and a lower aspect ratio... 245 would be pretty crazy too...
In addition, i'm also wondering will it even fit onto the stock 16's,
these... I don't know the width of these rims and how wide the tires can be
anyone can help? thanks a lot
