I need some tires and i found these for sale. They are Falken's, the size is 225/45/16 stock tires are 225/55/16. Will these look better since it will have a smaller sidewall? If any has this same setup please post pics.

IMO those tires will not look good on a pony rim. Even 225/50's look too skinny IMO.

My favorite tire size for ponies is 245/45.
My next choice is 245/50.

That's gonna look rediculous due to the low profile. 225-45-16 is only 23.97inches tall.

Cheers
