16" rubber for an AE102 means 205/45/16, which will either give you cheap and crappy tyres, or good but ridiculously expensive (relatively) ones. In some cases, going to a 17" will give you a bigger tyre range at sometimes cheaper prices than the 16s On that point though, I fully recommend 16s for performance/handling. 17s will look OK (the 102s have pretty big wheelarches, especially the fronts), but 16s definitely for handling as a maximum. Okay...but either way going 16 or 17 is still going to be better handling than the 14'' yokohama A drive tyres im currently on? Most likely, if you get good tyres. Best handling would be from 15s and semi-slicks, but they're no use for everyday road driving. 205/45/16 on something like RE001s or S-drives will be almost as good, certainly better than stock suspension will allow too. what size have u got fitted on ur car?
