2016 Corolla LE Tire and Rims

[Tyler-TRDrolla]

Alright fellow Corolla enthusiasts, I need some help/advice on tire and rim upgrades. What do you guys think the limit is for slightly larger and wider tires? The 2016 LE is 16.5” dia and 6.5” width, and I was curious about the 17” 7” What do you think the limit is without affecting smooth drivability?

I think I’ve answered this question about 20 times now. Lol
Go to website http://www.willtheyfit.com
Enter your car and then you can play with the sizes.
I’m running 18x8.5 35mm offset with 225/45 tires. There is still room to go bigger.
Next set of tires will be 245/40’s, maybe wider.
If I were to do rims again I would go to 19x9.5 30mm offset and of course tires to match.

A key to this is keeping the diameter correct when changing wheel and tire sizes. The correct diameter is 25.0" so your choices are too large and will throw off your speedometer. Keep in ride too the the ride will get much worse as you go to any wheel larger then a 17" size. These are the correct choices for different wheel sizes. The 17" sizes are the sweet spot for ride, handling, cost and weight. Anything larger then 17" begins to get very heavy which hurts braking, acceleration and MPG.

195/65R15
205/55R16
225/50R16
205/50R17
225/45R17
245/40R17
225/40R18
245/35R18
215/35R19
225/35R19
245/30R19

Agreed. Except I ended up with 225/45/18.
No big deal, speedo is still accurate.
That website will tell you how much your speedo will be effected with the different sizes. Mine was like 0.067, something like that. Wasn’t enough for me to care. Lol

Constable Steven Hawking is on patrol, looking for 3 point decimal offenders of the speed limit!! It could Happen!

I used to respect that guy, but lately I dunno. I think he might be losing his mind!
But still, this made me chuckle!
