I have a set of 6x16 for the front and 7x16 for the rear. Because of the different widths the same tire will be .8 inch different front to rear. Does anyone have any experience with this?
The tires that I want to buy are the Yokohama s drive and in the 205 tire size They have both 50 & 55 aspect ratios. Some advise would be appreciated Thanks David |

205/55 and 225/50 both are the same height (diameter) and are only a little smaller than the original tires.
If you're looking for low profile, the 215/40 and 195/45 are nearly the same height. To me that makes more sense than putting the same size tire on two different rim widths. |
