Looking for pic of 205/50 mounted on OEM 6.5 wheel; preferrably and x-lite. Would like to replace run-flats; am interested in how the wider tire looks mounted on the factory wheels (considering Yoko ES100s).

X-Lites w/215/40 16s. I can take pics of the XLites off the car w/205/50 16s. Let me know.

If it isn't a hassle, it'd be appreciated.

Those x-lites look great without the center cover. Looks a lot more
agressive. I think DiD had his car like that with white wheels and
they look great. :smile:

The sig pic is Yoko ES100 205-50-16. It also has H-Sport springs. Here's another view.

I don't think you will see much of a difference between the stock and 205 tires. Here is a 225/50/16.

Trust me - there's a difference between 205/50R16's and the stockers...

j - you've seen my car, right? I've got Yoko ES100's in 205/50R16's... I can probably find some images from when I had them mounted on the stock 16's, but you can get a good idea from looking at the current setup, too.

But, it's going to look fine... and it's going to handle a heck of a lot better... :smile:

Jblow,

I just did the change over to toyo 205/50/16s. proxy4s... from stock summer Dunlops..

So far the handling is mucho better and the ride has improved over the RF tires amazingly.. Smooth factor high... Very smooth ride, feels faster to me....







Davo..
