calling out to all those with 16'

[318power]

Hey guys I think I am going to purchase a set of 16x8 SSR integrals for my 318. I am concerned over which tire to get, because these are mostly going to be my dedicated autocross wheels.

I have heard great things about the Falken Azenis and these are at the top of my list, but I can't decide which size to get they are available in 215/45ZR16 and 205/55R16. Which size is better? I won't rub will I?

Also where else can I purchase these?

I am trying to spend less than $100 per tire.


Any suggestions are helpful, even other tire recomendations.
Thanks
Jason

Jason,
Here's a photo of your wheels (16x8) with 225/50-ZR16 Dunlop SP5000's. These tires are over 9" wide (section) fitted to the 8'' rims and they don't rub. Great choice of wheels, very light and strong and not too crazy big (diameter and weight) - a performance choice. I don't know anything about those tires, I just drive this car the street.
