Morning fellas,

Ive got a set of 16x7 bonnie wheels i want to put on my lesabre. Eventually not right now, its going to be dropped, 2.5 - 3" up front, and 2" out back. I think ive got 235/55/16 on there right now, but the tires are worn pretty bad and one has some damage that cant be repaired. Ive done a search for tire threads and most of them are for 17"+ rims, or for winter tires.

What would be the widest tire i could run on these wheels without rubbing? I assume given the similaritys between the Bonnie and LeSabre, they could run the same width tire. Just looking for a good all season preformance tire, as here in houston we get rain with a little bit of sun mixed in and sun. If fender rolling will be necessary please let me know so when i finally do drop the car ill be prepaired lol.

Thanks guys,

Matt

hi, when I got my 2000 SSEi, she came with 4 new bridgestone turanza serenity-- Im impressed!!!
she sticks well in dry and wet-- even if I take a 60klm/h on/off ramp at 120klm/h-- using the whole road that isin dry!
they also have little problem in 8 inches of snow!!!

traction A
temperature A
740 treadwear

quite and comfy ride to boot!!! -- highly recomended!!
