Got a set of new tires in 225-50R16, the stock TC wheel is 225-60R16. Aside from the speedo being off, is there anything that I should be concerned about running this tire set? its a 1.7" difference in tire height which will lower the car some more.
Bigger fender gaps, bit harsher ride. It'll look goofy. It wont look lowered.
A better idea is a 245/50-16. Gives it a little more sidewall but still lower profile because of the wider tread. Also closer to stock height.
Its already on a 1" drop, who knows I suppose. The tires were free and I need them badly to replace my dry rotted ones from the car sitting the past two years. Im not too worried about the harsher ride, its not a daily driver anymore.
Well you cant argue with free.
I run 225/55/16s on Snowflakes. Works fine for me.
I'm running 225-50/16's on snowflakes, and with a stock ride height, the tire to body gaps are a little larger than I'd like. I really need to get around to installing the 95GT springs I bought. I really like the way they ride and stick in the corners.
i think ford should have put them on from the begining, i say put the on.
