With the (not so) new 16 inch right rear tires, what is the best size right rear wheel to run these things on. Hoosier recommends 16-18 inches, and lists specs based on a 17 inch wheel. Obviously a 16 inch wheel will make the tire tape out bigger and an 18 will make it tape smaller, how would this affect side bite with a taller or shorter sidewall? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

More sidewall equals more bite overall. Just have to take tire press into consideration a bit more carefully as too low pressure with a taller sidewall will cause the center of the tire to "cup"
