Tire sizes for Spoon SW388's? Please help Jim
Gonna be getting 16" Spoon SW388's for my S (16x8, and 16x7, +45 offsets all the way around). I'm lowered 1.5" (no biggie). I wanted to get the Advan A032R's and wanted to know what sizes I should get if at all possible. Thanx alot Jim.

I'm running those wheels with stock tires on them and I can tell you (even though I'm not lowered) that if I was lowered I would need to run some serious camber to fit them. Front is no problem with that offset the rear is where you'll probably run into some some trouble. Although you don't have a lot of choice...
So, choose carefully!

I think you are going to have a problem with the 245/45R16 on the rear with a 45mm offset and a 16X8 wheel. I would recommend the OE tire sizes as the best with this wheel.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
Thank you

I wouldn't get the A032Rs ... And yes, stick with the OEM sizes ... 205/50 F + 225/50 R. They'd give you best handling/response and improved braking and turning because of your lighter forged wheels. If you want better tyres above the OEM S-02s, the PZero Neros or Michelin Pilot Sport Cups would be my next choice up.
On my SW388's, I have Toyo Ra-1's, 205/55/16 f and 225/50/16 rear. I couldn't go any wider in the front because it would rub, but I think I could definitely go with 245/45/16 in the rear without any problems. My car is lowered by about 3/4" btw.
I've run both the A032's and the RA-1's and I don't think the A032's have as much grip(at least the h compound) and the tread blocks chunk up quite a bit.
