09 Wheels (non-stock)

I am currently searching for wheels to put on my base model. I really like the 5Zigen fn01r-c hot version, in matte black. The parameters are 16x7, 42 offset. For tires, I want to run 205/45-16. Do you all think these will fit with no problems (i.e. rubbing.) I am not planning on lowering the car. Any insight would be appreciated.

that combo would work fine, even lowered, but i recommend a 205/50, it is closer in diameter to your stock 185/55. A 205/45 will be too short.

With the 45 series you will be traveling 3.1% faster than your speedo indicates.
With the 50 series you will be traveling 0.2% slower than your speedo indicates.
