I'm interested in the widest tire that will fit on the 2000 gts wheels. they come with 205-40-16. i'm interested in fitting 225-45-16. has anyone done this?
thanks guys

I don't know how wide those wheels are. You should probably be running 7-7.5" wide wheels for 225s. My eclipse has 6.5 wide, and I'm running 225/45/17...with a good bit of sidewall bulge.

do not put 225/50/16 tires on the GTS rims. it will jack your acceleration and speedo. it's just too big. 225/45/16 is the biggest you can go on GTS 16s without adding too much change to the tire ratio.

fyi, it's 16x6.5" and each rim weighs about 22 pounds (without a tire).

Just got my new Falken Azenis 215 45 16 mounted on my GTS wheels, and i have no rubbing issues. The rears ARE close...about 3/8" from the strut. Let me tell you, these tires are sticky!
