I think these will fit on my stock 01 but just wanna run it by you guys to make sure.

205/50R16
225/50R16

 

Yeah, they'll fit but maybe your should read this first:

so they will actually be narrower?

 

ok. Read that link. The tires that a buddy of mine has im lookin at are 245/50/16 and 205/50/16 That gonna work?

 

nope

 

They will "work" but the proper size is as follows:

205/55/16 front
245/45/16 rear

You'll have a shorter sidewall on the fronts and a taller sidewall on the rears. Your ride will a bit softer and your speedo will be out by about 2% to 3%. And depending on the driving condition, those may or may not play tricks with the ABS.

 

Thanks for the help. I have an 1" drop on mine. I would really like to take up some of that fender gap with a little bit taller tire. Just wanna make sure what works.

 

Well, the rears will be "taller" and the fronts will be "shorter".

 

Thanks for your help xviper.

205/55/16 front
245/45/16 rear

The size mentioned above is the best option. But arent the front tires gonna have a bigger sidewall than the rear? Sorry just trying to understand.

 

The middle number is the "aspect ratio". It represents the sidewall in terms of % of cross sectional width.
For example, the OEM tire 205/55/16 has a sidewall that is 55% of 205 or 112.75mm

and the tire you chose being 205/50/16 has a sidewall that is 50% of 205 or 102.5mm.

As you can see, the 55 aspect ratio tire will be taller than your 50 A/R tire. You can do the same math on the rears to see that the OEM size will be shorter than your chosen tire.

In other words, your chosen front tire will fill the wheel well less and your chosen rear tire will fill the wheel well more than an OEM tire.
