    I dont care about the speedo. It will be off at 60 mph, like a few mph.

    Won't it also be affecting your odometer, as well? That shit will add up over time.

    Yeah, at 60 it will be off 1.1 mph. Not a big deal at all.

    You have the wider fenders and have a -5 offset. I have the narrower 85 fenders and my wheels have a -8 offset. You should be able to run a little wider tire than me because of the fenders.

    With that said you should be fine with either any 215/50-55 or 225/45-50 tire.

    215/50's have been bought. More info later on the members rides. On the back, with 255/50's, there is a ton of overhang. So this will help.

    my offset after the spacer is around 27mm.

    *Ah I see you already ordered.

    255/50/R16 on 16x8" Riken +20 offset with 1" spacer. About -5 effective offset.

    Perfect on the rear, flatten the inner fender lip and it will be fine. Camber increases as the tire goes into the fender.

    I also see that you ordered already, just tryin to help out…

    No, I definitely appreciate the help. Especially since were going through the same situation. Thanks. :-)
