205/55-16? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #63044 21 posts Started by joyworks
Just wondering if anyone has 205/55 tires mounted on 16" rims? How do you the way they handle? Do you have pictures?
I have 205/50 R16... and I believe they are the best I can have... if it helps anyhow smile.gif

Yes, that is recommended size for a 16" rim. I am just wondering if anyone has gone taller than that on a 16. Thank you, though.
I got it... I have another note for you (dunno how much helpful smile.gif). In two weeks I'll put 185/60 R16 winter tires on. And equivalent to this with wider tire is 205/55 R16.

Yes, those winter tires will be about as tall as 205/55-16, just much more narrow. Could you send me pics once you get those winter tires on in a couple of weeks? Thanks!
I have 205/50 R16. According to my onwers manual this is the recommended size for 16 inch rims. I Find that they handle well. have federals super steels on the front and dunlop direzzas on the rear.

i recommend 225-50

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
I recommend 195/70-14.

I've got 205/55-R16's and they're a nice ride.

They also fill the wheelbay so it doesn't look like you have small rims.



Those are very nice, geetje! Do you have any tire rub at all from that size?

i had a set of 205 55 16 yokohama es-100 tires and they were Great!

i loved them because the handled very well, filled in the fender nicely and it absorbed much of the street vibrations. i dont think youll be disappointed.
