getting a great deal on some snow tires/rims.
these should fit right?
215/65/16?? thanks in advance.
I'm lowered on s-techns and I think I have like 1/2 inch wheel gap in the front and rear. basically most of you lowered guys know how it is.
just wondering and hoping if it will fit or not?
i checked on here:http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_tire.jsp?brand=Our%20choice&model=16%20inch%20performance

Kids will never learn.

put your current tire specs in first row and then enter the snow tire you wanted and check the difference...YOU...yeah yourself will know and be sure it will fit.

225/65R16 will give you almost 1" extra inche on sidewall !!!! (0.91")

Since you're dropped it will rub big time !

205/60R16 =1
225/65R16 = 2

Overall diameter 25.68 in vs 27.51 in
Sidewall diameter 4.84 in vs 5.75 in

Diameter Difference: 6.66% (anything over 3% is not recommanded)

any of these sizes for 16" wheels are ideal:

205/60-16
215/55-16
215/60-16
