FINALLY!! Wheel choice, going to buy, help me out with size

[Stopsign32v]

Well I finally figured out what wheels I want. They are the Enkei RPF1s.

I want 16's but after searching here, Teamintegra, and HT I found 1 picture that was decent. All the others the pictures don't work anymore.

The 16x7's have a 43 offset and these were the ones I was looking at but the guy in the 2nd post of this thread has me wondering...

16's look great

I'm sold on 16's just trying to figure out which offset would be best for me. They have 16x7 in 35 offset and 43 offset. Still searching too...*sigh* so much reading lol

Would 35 offset be too much?

There really is no big difference. oem rims are close to 43. Id go with +35. See what others say though.

Edit: like +15 offset its like even with your fenders.

But will I have any rubbing with +35?

no, i don't think so. What tires would you run.

205/45/16 ot 215s if possible. (I plan to turbo later)

i don't think you ill have a problem. Are you dropped at all?

Not yet, no. But I plan to drop it with some H&R sport or Eibach ProKit springs

those look like 205/50 r16, they might rub you should consider 205/45 r16 its the perfect profile i had them on some Slipstreams looked great

i have some 17 inch enkei evo6 wheels for the summer and theyre beefy (215 45 r17) and they only rub when i take a very sharp turn at high speed. im not sure of the offset but i got all 4 of them with tires for $100. the handling is great, i took a left turn at an intersection @stock ride height at 45 mph no problems, not a squeak form the tires

offset would be key. I think I'm going to try the 35s though. I hope they dont rub.

since i bought them used i just put them on and turned both ways and i had clearence all around so for 100 bucks, why not

 

[xSpRiNkLeZ]

they look PERFECT in that picture. id go with those. almost makes me wanna get the same wheels lol

Just because the oem offset is 40something doesn't mean a 7" wide wheel will sit the same as a 6" stock....

16x7 with +35 will sit pretty flush,
