ok so i want to get a set of buddy club sf rims, but i dont know what size to get.

now i want to do some autox and keep them for dd. so with a 15in rim i would run a 55 side wall tire and have some flex.

with the 16in i would run a 50 side wall tire but have not as much flex with the 15in rim.

so which one will be best for autox, any help would be great.

i also know that the larger the rim there will be more rotational mass.

55 series sidewall is too big for 15" and 50 series is too big for 16".

195/50R15 or 205/50R15 is a good size for 15" wheels and 205/40R16 is a good size for 16" wheels on our cars.

15" would be best for auto-x because they are lighter than 16" :thumb:
