Has anyone here downsized from 18" (LE/silver edition) to 16" (S) rims?
If so, has anyone run 225/75/16 tires?
I was looking online and it looks like the S variants came with 245/75/16 and given that I will be running these in the winter, I think the skinnier tires would be just fine?
Were the brakes the same across all the variants?
I'm only looking at V6 R51s.
R51 - downsizing to 16" for winter rims

Thanks for your responses both.
The reason for those tires is because they are only 5,000 miles old off my R50.
They are currently mounted on 16†rims off a 2001 QX4. My plan is to find OE 16†rims off a R51 and then just mount my tires on these said R51 rims.
How do I compare the rim width differences?

Interesting. I’m fine with signing a waiver if they want me to.
I’m basically having them take the season old winter tires off the rims of my old QX4 and having them put them on a set of 16†rims from a base S R51.
My online research indicates that QX4 rims were also 7†wide.
I’ll post pictures here in a few weeks once I get the snow set up. I have a feeling that the Pathy is going to look a little funny on the 225 tires
