What size wheels and tires are you using?

[white99c2]

My car has 16x6 front wheels with 205/55-16 tires and 16x7 rear wheels with 225/55-16 tires... what are you using on your NINE ELEVEN?

[WIL84911]

17x7.5, 8.5 w/ 225-45-17, 255-40-17 which I plan to get rid off in the near future.

245/45/16 rear on 8" Fuchs.
'81 SC

There were some helpful but skeptical warnings on this board about running the 245's on 8 inch rims, however when I checked the tire manufacturer's website (Toyo) for the specs, it indicated that 8 inch was their ideal width for this tire. I took the gamble (I have to admit that I was really swayed by the look) and so far, so good. Good grip and predictable (street only, so far), but who knows about same size rim with another tire.

Front: 225/50/16 (7x16)

[Forza]

Factory option 16x6 & 16x7 Fuchs: 205/55 in the front and 225/50 in the rear

Car currently has Yokohama A520s, which were on the car when I bought it. Will probably switch to Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs when the Yokohamas wear out.

On my '87 3.2 (w/o turbo look option):

Factory option Fuchs
Front: 16x6, 205/55
Rear: 16x7, 225/50

Conti ExtremeContact ultra-high performance all season

Yes, I could have gone wider, but (as shown by my tire selection) I like to drive the car year-round.

I'm planning on a set of 17's with killer summer-only tires eventually. Probably Rota Fox 17x7.5 & 17x9, tire size tbd (as i haven't decided if I want to have the fender lip rolled).

Where are you guys finding non-race rubber 245/45/16 size tires?

[Oh Haha]

I'm running 205/55 on 7x16 in front,8x16 on 245/45 in back.

Sumitomo HTRz tires are still available in 245/45 although TireRack does periodically list them as not in stock.

The most economical are Fuzion ZRi's. Tire Rack has them for $103/ea in that size

[Oh Haha]

I had the Fuzions for a while but got a deal on the Sumis. I still have a set of 205/55 Fuzions if anyone wants a great deal on them.

I just put on a set of Toyo T1R tires in 205/55-16 and 245/45-16. So far they are great. They are street tire that replaced my Hankooks that are no longer available. The options in 245/45 were pretty slim to say the least this go around. I do not know what it is going to be like next time I need tires in a year or two!
