Ok Wondering what size tires are people running on their starion rims. Mine are 16x7 and 16x8.5. I plan on doing a 2/3 drop on the truck when all is said and done.
Starions come in 16x7, 16x8 and 16x9. The 16x7 / 16x8 look good with 225-50 and 245-50 series to me. I'm running 16x9 all around on my mini and just picked up a set of 245-50 and 265-50 hankooks. My bed and front fenders are pulled and some camber is dialed in.
Just a warning. These starion/conquest wheels bend easily. Keep this in mind if considering running ultralow profile tires.
^I second that! blew out both driver side rims on a pothole. had them straightened luckily. im running 195 45 and it has a little stretch in the back. mine came with 225 50 and the rubbed my bed so i had to went to 195 45. im also at a 5 6 drop
Yeah what he said^^^ the roads out here in Cali are horrible this happend on 880 HWY in San Jose , luckly my tire didn't blow on me. Running 16X8 all the way around on 195-45-16. I purchased a back up set just because of this reason.
exactly what part of that high way did you hit it on? I will avoid that section if i ever go down there
Over near the Montague Expy area. They are adding a third lane Hwy project and had the old road surface removed. Since I start work at 4:30 In the morning it's really hard to see all the pot holes at night. No worries on driving there now the road is repaved finally.
205/50 all the way around....16x7....and I also have another set 16x7 and 16x8 not sure yet of what tire ima get tho
Yeah, I was looking at them and thought they looked thin where it counted. I want to go with as much meat on the tires as possible. I want street-ability and cornering not stanced "VW-Esque" type tires on there that are stretched.
So what seems to be the concensus among you guys who are dropped on tire size for these wheels while still maintaining a nice sidewall height? 205 65? 215 50?
