Which would handle better 16x7-225/50/16 or 17x7-225/45/17 or would they be about the same. which size should I get?

anyone have a thought?

 

assuming you use the same kind of tyre and that they dont have any out of the norm massive differences in how they're built between those two sizes, i would go for the 16 just because theres a slight chance it will be lighter and you wouldnt miss the slight difference in turn in response. but if you are after the absolute best handling between those two, id go with the 17 for a shorter sidewall.

 

Ill sell you some 16x7.5" wheels with 225/50/16 BFG Gforce tires if your interested

 

I think this month's motor trend addressed the rim size issue.
I have 17s. Major ride difference than 16s. Maybe slower tho. It's ok, Maximas are slow anyways unless u spend $$$.

for better performance get the 16's since they will most likely be lighter.

 

how much are you selling the wheels and tires for?

 

If you were local and to come to pick them up Id guess about $400 and Ill install them for you. Im not shure about how to ship these things out of state and dont have any experience with something this big
