Tire size??

[blue thunder]

Upgraded my sho last year to eibach springs and tokico struts. I'm running on 17 inch rims for now. I'm getting snow tires for my sho with the stock 16 in. rims. My question is do I still get the 215/60/16 stock tires for the rims even though I have changed the suspension. Or it doesn't matter. Let me know. Thanks!!

Doesn't matter. I'd go with the stock size.

I'd get 225/50/16s...

I would go for the stock size for winter tires, you don't want wide low profile tires in the winter.

Well, if you don't mind a Gen 3 guy chiming in... :wave:
I have 17s for summer and Blizzaks for winter on the stock wheels. I'm lowered, quite a bit. Front about 1 3/4", back about 1 1/4".
My Blizzaks are 215/60/16 and I've had them on for 4 winters now and haven't had a single problem.
Ishodu is right, you don't want wide tires in winter.

says the guy living in california...lol

I am running 205-65-15s on my car right now, and they are a good height.

Remember, in the snow, narrower, taller profile tires are what gives you traction...

on a slicer, I would go stock size, or 205-65-16

Thats not the stock size on a slicer the stock size is 215/60/16 go with this i live in jersey and we have some rough winters up here and this size would be the best on it

you can run one size down/up on all rims.

Narrower tires are always better during winter. Yes 215/xx/xx are the stock sizes, but look for 205's.
