I know there's probably so many threads about this but I tried searching and looked through so many threads and couldn't really find an answer.
I'm going to be getting new tires soon as I bought new wheels, and I wanna know if 205/55/16 would be too big for our car? Anybody run this size? Or should I just go with 205/50/16? -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

I am running that size right now with them 7th gen gt-s rims. they run fine. the tire calculator I check from discount tires say I gain about +3mph, but when I go through the radars I have in my city, its accurate to what the speedo reads.

Alright thanks, do you happen to have any picture of the tires on your car? -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

Don't worry about it now, I went out and bought some so not necessary anymore  Thanks for the input everyone, I went with the 55 because I called around a few places and none of them could order the 50's in. I wanted to go with Walmart also because they were a good price for good tires, plus balancing and Road Hazard Warranty, 550$ for everything -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily
