I know I dont post alot but I have met a few of you guys in Va and MD before. I also know that I'll get flammed for such a basic question but I've searched and come up with all kinds of posts for tires sizes in the Ap1.People runnin up to 265's on the AP1 rear for Auto X and such....however;
I simply would like an answer to this.......If I dont want ANY tire bulge what is the max width I can run on the 16X6.5 (f) and the 16x7.5

 

205/55/16 F and 245/50/16 R (the stock S-02 shows as a 225mm but really measures out at 245mm, so if you buy something other than the S-02 you will need to go to a 245mm rear.

Those sizes are based on using the stock wheel, I would assume that if your rolled the fenders and ran a bit more negative camber you could possibly fit a 255 or 265.

Another point of caution, if you buy another brand of tire such as goodyear and only buy a 225 size, expect the rear of the car to try and meet the front of the car.

 

The S-02(thats the bridgestone OEM right)? So your saying that say I wanna go Falkens or Yoko's or something like that,I should run a 205/50/16 in front and 245/50/16 in the rear?

 

245/45-16 in the rear.

 

So I should just play it safe and run a 205/50 in the front and not go any wider? and run a 245/45 in the rear? and there wont be any tire bulge right?

 

for just regular street driving, that's what I would do.

 

Cool..not looking for auto x or anything.Just DD and maybe some twisties everyonce in a while...so I really appreciate everyones help.Im buying tires tomorrow and dont want to get the wrong tires.I would think 245 would be too wide for a 7.5 rim..but Hey what do I know..thats why I asked the question here...Thanks again for the help.

 

Yes, if you buy something other than the stock S02 you will need to order a 245, the S-02 is listed as a 225 but actually measures 245.

 

GOD what a NOOOB!

 

and you ask why I dont post?
