- Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:32 am #247549 i had 215/45r16 on my coupe.. it looked pretty good..and with the 215 the tire is only a very small amount taller..idk know if anyone knows what the /45 means but its the aspect ratio. meaning its a percent of how wide the tire is. So you could have 315/45\R16 tires but they would be a much taller of a tire

- Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:23 am #247565 I thought 215 would be your width and 45 is the height of the tire from the rim edge and r16 being the inside diameter of the tire correct me if i'm wrong? :?

- Sat Apr 02, 2011 11:17 am #247779 It depends how wide your rim is and what engine you drive.

So i think you ride 7'' wide wheel

if you ride d series go with a outline of 1750mm +-

and with a B-series you need 1810mm +-

so with a D
- 195/40
- 195/45
- 215/40

and with a B
- 205/45
- 185/50
- 225/40
