[chris106]

4x100 2x7.5J and 2x9J deep dish wheels
2 x 215/40/R16
2 x225/40/R16
will they be ok fitting the stilo? and i have 30mm lowered will 16's look weird with low profile?

cheers chris

9j will fit fine, 40R16 will knock your speedo off quite a bit though, will look a bit rubbish with tiny wheels and tyres in the big arches IMO

I wouldn't fit standard wheels of 100 PCD with "wibbly wobbly" wheel bolts to the Stilo which is 98 PCD let alone these 7.5J & 9J offsets.

Asking for nothing but trouble IMHO!

Cheers 4 the responses. How do you know what fits? Wat does the 40r bit mean?

40% of width. Height from rim edge to tire edge. 40 is way too small on 16" and 215 wide. Might even disturb the ECU or some sensors.

The 40% as Morty points out refers to the sidewall profile. i always thought that it was based upon the tyre width times profile percentage then divide by 2 (number of sidewalls on a diameter)

eg a tyre width of 215mm has a profile of 40% ie 86mm then divide by 2 so each sidewall is 43mm

but i may be wrong

This may help.

If you are thinking of changing your car tyre size or are planning on buying a new wheel/tyre combination then you can use the flash tool below for a visual tyre size comparison of your stock wheel and tyre size versus your new wheel and tyre combination.
Will also calculate the differences the new tyres will make to the acuracey of your speedo.
