Looking for pics of these tire sizes on a MX.
Also interested in 205 50 16 pics. Just for reference of a OEMish size

what's the offset of your wheels?Jiggsaw wrote:Im running 225/45/16s
now that i think about it, what's the offset of our stock wheels, was it +45? (5 spoke, 15" honeycombs, 14" honeycombs)

Stock offset is 45 IIRC
He has konig heliums, so 42 offset as I have the same rims.
Jigsaw.. any rub? 7" rim? Better pics from the side? I wanna see the sidewall height

Well yea.. that will actually have a smaller sidewall..
Just the width you need to worry about, but 215 is usually ok, its just the offset and width of the rims. 215 on a 6.5" rim isnt the greatest. I would stick with the stock size.
