Best tire size for 16x8 FD3S RX7 rims... - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

turboS2000 · 03-13-2006, 12:44 PM

I have a set of 93 rx7 rims in my garage and heard that some members were putting them on there 6's so I might be putting them on from time to time. But I will need to get new tires for them and wanted to know what tire size that would be perfect on that rim for a 6s.

Also my 6s is lowered 1.2 front and 1.0 rear incase rubbing will be a issue when finding the best tire size.

Thanks

If for autox or racing, a 225/40/16 or 225/45/16

If for daily driving, like a 225/50/16

it is 8 inches wide, you can run a 235 or perhaps even a 245 if you want.

its all preference, stretch ran those rims, i doubt he even responds to pm's any more, but yeah you could search through his old posts.

I want to use this setup for track and fun use. I want to keep performance only in mind when picking the right setup. What about this, I have them on my S2000 oem wheels and love them:

Wheelmax 225/45/16

The price seems pretty good

.

Thanks.

Wheelmax 245/45/16

225/55/16 or 245/50/16 for perfect overall diameter.
