27990, widest tire combo on factory wheels
Posted by Talow79, Sep-23-05 02:57 PM
What are the widest tires that will fit on my factory Talon wheels? I know that different manufactures effect width also, what works the best? Right now I have 215/55/16.

I'd say you are maxed out on you width.
what are you looking to do with the car?

the first solution that comes to mind for any new problem with my car usually involves a can of gas and a match.....:wallbash

I have seen 225's on the stock 16" wheels. IT LOOKED REDICULOUS!!!!
Bulged too much on the sidewalls, and the profile looked hideous too. Not to mention, I dont think that there would have been any performance gain.

I've seen some many AWD eclipses/talons with wider tires, I just really like the look. I never been able to get close enough to the cars I've seen to get a size. Maybe its 225/50/16

It is indeed 225/50/16 but that's pushing it.

I've seen 225's on a 6" rim so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
