New to Forum: wheel questions.

Hi,
New to this forum. Just bought a '11 base and i want to get some summer wheels and tires. I need some suggestions on a 16" inch wheel using either a 195 or 205 tire. What type of offsets are you guys using? Not interested in flush (or anything past that) and must be good for a DD. I am finding it hard to locate wheels that are 50+ offset. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Remember the wider the wheel the less offset you need...

Check out the Wheel & Tire subforum and also the search box at the top. There are about 10000 threads on this topic. Many on here chose the Enkei RPF1 wheels which are really nice and super light. IIRC, 45 or higher offset is doable on the fit. but search around and you'll definitely find the answers you are looking for.

Welcome

What I'd like to go with is a 6" or 6.5" wide wheel. Just for the sake of discussion, if I went with a 17" wheel what type of offset would I be looking for?
