No, because the aspect ratio is dropped from 50 to 45, making the sidewall height the same

Cheers for clearing that up for me

i would go for 225 or even 235 on a 8.5 rim.
lot of guys streach them on the vw scene and drift car.
it should give you less tyre flex as you are streching the sideways and they can't move.

i like the look of steched tyres to be fair but not overly streched.
i would go for 225 as that will look quite streched anyway and go for a lower profile.

Isn't the standard rims 16x7"? Now I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to recall that being stamped into the set I used to have.
