Tire size

[Coldsong]

Ok so after a long while of searching and debating on what I wanted I've finally ordered a set of wheel for my legacy.

I decided i didnt want to go bigger than 16's so that made the decision hard since most wheels that I like would have looked terrible in a size that small. But I ordered a set of 16x7 rota slipstreams (lol @ honda wheels, I know)

So next on my list of things to do is order tires....

The wheels are 16x7 +48, what size tires would you guys recommend to run for my 2003 legacy?

Forgot to mention, riding on, Whiteline Control lowering springs and Bilstein HD dampers

205 55 16, 215 55 16, or 225 50 16. 225 is pushing it with a 7" wheel in terms of steering response but it's still within the width range of a 225 tire. Don't forget to dial in negative camber on the front. As much as you can with the stock bolts, it's pretty much a necessity to get decent front grip on a macpherson suspension.

You're pretty much limited by the width of the wheel. Wish they still made 16x8 slips, those wouldve been a nice, though relatively heavy, wheel to run. Though harder to find, see if you can get a set of 16x8 or the even rarer 16x7.5 wheel instead of the slips.

Thanks for the info Ben.
