So I need new winter tires this year but this past summer I installed an Eibach pro-kit on my 2009 lancer GT. I want to reuse my stock alloys with the winter tires but I'm unsure what size tires to use to accommodate for the drop. The stock tires were 205/60r16 so I was thinking that 205/55r16 would work but looking for opinions.

Also, what are you opinions on Hankook Ipike W409 tires? I've got a really good offer on a new set of them but I have limited experience with Hankooks.

Thanks guys.

what is the tire and rim size that you're running.... the total diameter of your summer and winter tire should be the same or similar.... otherwise you need to do alignment every time you change your tires....

I'm running 225/45r18 summer tires right now. I'm more worried about if those size tires would even fit at this point and then I'll worry about an alignment. I know 205/60r16 would be closer to the summer tire circumference but I'm unsure if stock tires would fit well with the drop.
