255/50/16's on a 16x7?
I know that 255's are a wicked wide tire to put on a 16x7 wheel, but I haven't personally seen how it looks on a wheel, on a car.

Do any of you happen to have any pictures of this size tire on a wheel?

Would I have any clearance issues/rubbing on my B14? I found a really good deal on KDW's, a little less than retail, and I think I'm going to need them before long (when I turn up the boost).

Thanks!

Disregard.

Looks like I'm going with a 225 instead. Deciding whether to get the KDW drag radials, or the Azenis RT-615.

A little more pricey than the RT-615's, but the treadwear is a lot higher, too. That, and the pattern makes them look more suitable for wet performance, as well. The RT-615's look great and sticky, but I don't think they'd do well on wet surfaces just looking at the tread. That's a big thing here because when it rains, it pours, and we don't have proper drainage in the city. In the desert, water just runs off of the surface, rather than getting soaked into the ground.
