16x8 what size tire to run ?

just pricing up some new rims/tires. found some TE37s for 1400 brand new. just wondering what size rubber to run on them ?

Well, depending on the offset, you could run some 225 55 16's size tires. That would look slick. i don't think you could get any larger tires to fit without rubbing unless the wheels are like a 35mm offset.

225/50/16 is a perfect match for the stock diameter, so you'd have no problems with the speedo being off.
245/45/16 will also fit nicely, but its a pretty wide tire - good for the track though. It would fit hoosiers wonderfully.

That's too tall. 225/5016 if you want a 225

Assuming a 40mm or lower offset run a 245/45r16. For all these people that think you can't run 245s without rubbing, once again I RUN 245/40r17 kumho MXs on 17x8 wheels with a 38mm offset and there are ABSOLUTELY no clearance issues. I really don't understand why so many people don't think you can run a 245.
