Hi everyone I was just wondering if I put on my 16’’ 205/50/16 in the front, what should I put in the rear, I was thinking of putting 215/50/16 or should I put 225/50/16…
What do you guys think about this?
Thank you TRELLMENOS…

if u go for wider tread for the 16's ur gonna be spending a crapload more money. Just because they are harder to come by coz they dont come stock on any cars
other than that, as long as the overall circumference doesnt change, ull be right

Im sure your name had an "A" amongst it? lol
And yeah as Gerard put it, You'll be forking out Big Dosh for some lower profile 16"s and its not worth it, put that money towards something else for the car, i know we got 215/60/R15's (or something along those lines) when i had the stockies on it and it was like $120 a tyre for only dunlops.....

I presume your stock wheels and tyres were 185/75R14 in which case the closest 16"
match would be 225/50R16. This size is very common and cheap.
Your overall diameter would be out by 2cm with 205/50R16 as it is out by 3.4%. They dont
recommend you go more than +/- 2.5% change. Also, for a FWD, your are better off have
the same size tyres on all four wheels and I think this is an ADR rulling as well.
