Wheel size

[croc-note]

I found some great wheel for 400$ with the tire (205/45r16 ), but i've check with tire size calculator and the tire would be 3.9% to fast. Everybody say not exced 3%.
Do you guy's check that ??

[NAiL05]

lol...3.9% fast so? lol as long as you like em get em. Either way a bigger rim combo is going to make your speedo read off either way.

are 22lbs heavy for 16" wheel ?

[GunRunner]

if ya like em..then get em...and go with the flow of traffic

i may be wrong...but isn't there a way to fix the spedo if you get bigger wheels/tires?

i'm about 95% sure it is...because ive known guy with big trucks saying "oh i gotta reset (or whatever) my spedo, it's off because of my wheels"

then a few weeks later, i see them and the spedo is back on track, with the correct speed.

i think 22lbs. is about right for 16"

yes, that is correct. its just an adjustment.

i rememebr a friend of mine jacked his truck as high as he could go to still be street legal..slapped some huge swampers on

he would be driving at like 30 and it would read 100

funny shit...

Is the rim alone 22? If it is, its heavy for a 16.

45 series tires are waaaaaaaay too low profile for a 16" wheel. At the very least run a 50 series. I'm running a 45 series on a 17" wheel right now.

The tire are new and come on the wheel...Maybe i'll sell the tire and buy new one like 215or225/50r16
By the way, the wheel are TSW Trophy serie. Are they good (I live where the road are really not in good condition....) I don't want to broke them if I get them.

yea, i agree, 205/50/16 would be i deal. Im on 205/55/15 and its perfect stock height and size.

i also wore the wrong size on my camry, i changed them to a larger tire that is stocke equivelent, and now im happy

dont forget, you car will b lower and have more fender gap...jsut a word of caution as well.

205/45/16 is fine especially if you are lowered. but 22lbs is alot heavier than other performance wheels out there. the rota gt3 i want are about 16lbs each. i see so many people dish out money for rims and soon regret getting cheap heavy rims. just do your research and good luck.

[Edmo83]

how wide are the 16's? my enkei RF-1 16X7 are only 16lbs each, and my Motegi MR15's are 17X7, but with 15 spokes, 23 lbs each. and at 205, im guessin 6-6.5....is the rim design with HUGE or THICK spokes? ad $400 is only the initial cost, don't forget tuner lugs, and hubcentric rings, and centercaps if necessary, lol

and dont mean to rub it in, unless you absolutely LOVE those rims, i got my RF-1s for $180 with tires, and MR15s for $180, no tires, both in fair condition, but with how bad ny roads are...why have perfect? theyd b beat to shit in no time anyways, lol

and just to throw in the mix of good rims deals, i paid $140 for my 15" Prelude SI rims on the Accord with almost new hankook ventus...that was a great deal for OEM gems

[croc-note]

Maybe a stupid question but what the difference between 16lbs and 22lbs wheel. Ok i know there 6lbs per wheel so 24lbs more in total, but will it affect something or the only thing is that make the car heavier ???

There a picture I found on internet of the wheel (the guy dosen't have a camera)

[erok515]

it takes less hp to spin a lighter wheel. so lighter the rotating mass = more hp to the wheels makes your car quicker. like say you put on some big heavy dubs it would kill your performance.

[Sloccord]

To the guys with RF-1's which lugs are ya'll using? My splinedrive tuner style lugs rub when I'm installing, with the socket on anyway. Just wondering so I don't tear up the other rims!
