what is the best tire size for my jdm 98 spec itr 16" wheels? ...205/50/16, 225/50/16, 205/45/16, or what? i forgot before

The OEM size was actually 215-45-16.

There aren't a lot of choices in that size.

You can still get 010's in that size, and Azenis are always a good bet.

you think 205/45/16 or 225/50/16 can fit good though... i mean i dont know about cars, its just that my boyfriend... i want to surprise him by buying these japan type r wheels and i need to have tires for it

Both of those sizes are significantly different from OEM, in my opinion.

The closer size is 205-50-16. However, since Azenis and 010 are both available int he OEM size of 215-45-16, I'd go with that if I had the money.

The Azenis in 215-45-16 are about $100/ea and are a very good buy for the money. They're great handling tyres for the money. (They should not be used in a winter environment, howver.)

so the falken azenis for perfect for his itr with the jdm wheels??? do you have specs on the falkens? what is actually the best tire right now for ultra or max performance for his car....???

I am not sure what words like "ultra" and "max" mean to you.

This side of R-compound tyres, which most of us will not want to use for everyday driving, I think the Azenis are the best thing going.

You can spend a hell of a lot more on tyres that will handle only marginally better, if at all.

Azenis and similar tyres are not for winter use. That's the only caveat I can think of.

I use 215-45-16 Azenis on my Spoon 16x7 wheels for everyday driving, and Victor uses the same on his 16x7 JDM wheels on his white JDM car.
