What is the best 215/50-16 tire I can get, I am in the process of buying a set of E0 rims, and I can't find to many tires in that size. What are your suggestions?

Thanks in advance, TJ

Get 205/55 on them if you want a wder selection. Or try 225/50 if you feel especially adventurous. Both probably have a better seletion than 215/50, which is an odd size.

KDW is the best tire in that size, but as that size is not very common, 225/50 or 205/55 should work with more options.

Some people have rubbed, others not. My frined got some Kumho 712 225/50R16 for the stock 2000 SVT rims and he got rub of the plastic inner wheel well. So, he just was able to pull it back away fro mthe tire a little.
