I know that the factory size for these are 205/50/16. But if I wanted to get a slightly beefier looking tire, would 205/55/16 be fine? I also bet that these would improve road quality a little bit.
Also, if anyone has pictures of their GTS wheels with bigger tires then the stock recommended size, I'd love to see it and know what you're rolling on. -Matt This post has been edited by GotToyota: Feb 7, 2008 - 1:26 PM |

honestly, I've just recently put my gt-s wheels on w/ 205-50-16 and the ride quality actually feels better than my stock wheels w/ 205-55-15. So I don't think you need a "beefier" tire size, it'll just take away from the look of the wheels. You should be fine with the factory size or even a little lower if you wanted to.

I ran 205-45r15 on mine with Sportline drop and I never had any issues with ride quality.

it's not a huge difference. About 1 cm in total diameter.
