necro post bumpt but since winter is coming.
Klinn's comments' on the 16" sizing was exactly what I was looking for.
In case others are looking for winter tire sizing.

If you find some interesting rims while browsing, you can plug their specs into this site -- http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp -- to compare the results to the FR-S stock wheel & tire package.
Alternatively, see if you can sell the old snows and use the money to get 17" ones for your stock wheels, then put the money you were planning to spend on "something that looks good" towards a spiffy set of summer wheels. We car buffs can rationalize anything.  |
