Tire size and ride quality

[Amb4]

Right now im lowered on B&G springs and riding with 225/45/18
The ride itself isnt terrible but i just dont like the tire size because i feel every little crack and bump in the road, so its becoming annoying lol.
Im wondering if i go back to my 225/55/17 how much will that ride improve? or what if i even went to a 225/60/16

The 17 inch rim gives me 22mm of extra rubber and the 16 inch rim gives me 33mm of extra rubber. What can i expect out of these 2?

Thanks

you're lowered.... that makes a BIG difference.

[Amb4]

so increasing the tire size wont help me out that much? How do i get my ride quality back while still being lowered. Coilovers?

better struts and "smaller" tires like the 17's or 16's.

[Amb4]

Alright perfect, i'll look into that then. Thanks

Might want to consider different springs as well.

Different springs ride differently.

Talk to ROC or bio.

They know more on the specifics.

I wont go to far until the winter. I just bought some temporary GR2's which helped a lot over the stock struts. now its just the noise and cracks so i'll throw on some 16 t-stars or find a nice set of 17's i havent decided yet lol. I would think that the 16's might look a little small on my car..

probably will

225/45? you should be running a 245/45 on an 18 man.

good catch, that'd probably ride nicer since the sidewalls would be taller.

It wont be a caddy, but it will for sure better then 225/45s.
