My 16's came with good tires, but they were too tall! I'm really happy with the look of these wheels because it looks like it came with the car.

My new tires are 225/55/16. The factory 05-06 tires are like a 65 series or something. Way too tall. Of course, you do have to run wheel adapters/spacers. I'm running 1.5, and they seem pretty safe because they're bolted on.

60s might work. I have trouble with them banging my fenders. If your car is lowered watch out for that. If not I think you are good.

Well my car is lowered and they banged up my front fender. My rears actually were getting sliced by the fenders. My rears were 245/50R16s. I now have 235/60ZR16. They have yet to hit because they are smaller.


When they sliced I had to hit a really good bump to do it. So I think you will be good. Just roll the fronts to make sure, you can roll the rears if you want.
