What tyre size do I need on my 16 x 9 OZ wheels

[cantus]

Oh yes !!!! I found them with a little help from my good friend "Pistolar".
So, what I like to know is what other 16x9 OZ owners fitted on their wheels.
The car is a 420SEAC and the original tyre size was 225/50/15 which is a total diameter of 606 mm. So I think that 245/45/16 (dia 626) is to big ! And 255/40/16 (dia 610) is perfect !
But 255 is maybe too wide and not good for the wheelarches..

Note: The offset is 10mm extra to the inside (which is the difference between 81/2" and 9"

Can I have some advise please ?

thanks in advance

I've got 245/45/16 on the back of mine. I think that's the biggest you can go. They're very close to the tie bars.

245s on the back 225s on the front (all 16x9) The smaller size on the front helps with clearance and turn-in etc

Ok, I just knew you were going to ask that I was at work earlier and couldn't remember so hoped on one would notice that I had omitted that bit.

Fronts 225/45/16
Rear 245/45/16

according to the invoice anyway, too cold to go into the garage to confirm!

Thank you all for your help!
It will be Front 225/45/16 and Rear 245/45/16 .

Now I will be putting a new post on the Wedge-gassing about renewing or refurbishing the bolts on an OZ racing wheel.
