Plus Zero Sizes

Post by TheWhiteWolf »

Just wondering if anyone with the 16 inch rim has went with the Plus Zero sizes like 215/55-R16 or 225/50-R16?   I am thinking of buying some tires online but I just want to make sure that I won't have any issues trying to get them on the rim.  These will be going on either a stock GTZ rim or a stock Z26 rim, not yet sure what rims I want to use.


EDIT: side note, Anyone know if the polished GTZ center caps are available?

I've got 225/50R16 tires on my GTZ wheels.

You can get polished centercaps from MRZ Performance.

^^^ If you go with 16" rims  get the 225-50's, you will have no problems

I wouldn't put a 225 on anything narrower than the 7 inch wide wheels.

I decided to go with the 225's.  No problems yet, well it has only been 2 days.  I didn't even know about what will fit untill I input my car into www.discounttiredirect.com.  They list all the plus sizes that will fit and keep the speedometer correct.

The widest I've heard of so far on a Beretta is 245s on the rear and 235s on the front.  Obviously with 235s you're going to have some issues.

For a long time the online tire stores didn't recognize the 225 as fitting on the Beretta so it wasn't covered under warranty.  Luckily that's changed  Good luck with your new tires

If your gonna upgrade tire size really the best thing to do is go to a 225/50-16.

Thats what I have and so do many others around here.

But, anyways, yes a 215/55-16 WILL fit although its not recommended....
