i guess it varies from car to car..

 

i was running rota 16x7's 40mm offset on 215/45 R16's. i was dropped about an inch with swift springs. not even close to rubbing...probably still a 3-4 finger gap lol.

even if you're dropped about 2 inches on the GE, you probably won't rub with a 2xx/50 R16 profile tire. i doubt it will even rub with 17 inch rim and 45 profile.

 

Skinny--you have a GE?

I have Swift Springs as well and am looking at wheel sizes. I would like to run 205/50/16 tires.

 

I have 16x7 +40 with a 3mm spacer 205/50's lowered on ebiach sportline springs and the fronts rub on bumps and just a bit on turns and the backs only rub on big bumps. I'm sure once I get the fenders rolled and maybe a slight pull it will all be good.

 

205/50'S are too meaty to me on a 16 IMO

 

I know what you mean redrumm, but for some reason I really like it.

I pm'd skinny to see if he had any pics of that setup.

I would LOVE...like would order TOMORROW if I knew I could run 16x7 40mm on 205/50's with my Swift Springs and not rub. Seriously. I wish there was someone around here, even 2-3 hours away that would let me try their rims...just for a drive around the damn block to see if I could get any rubbing. Damn.

 

205 45 falkens seemed beefy.

ill try to find a pic of 40's and 45's in falken tires on my car

 

They are kind of meaty. This is my first try with these wheels, but they do fit the wheel well pretty good

 

+40 is going to be fine for around town, it will rub a bit.

However if you plan to get them for racing of any kind you better go with the +45 offset rims. A little rub here and there around town that isn't a big deal can turn into a serious problem very quickly on the track or course.

 

I'm running 205 50 on a 35 offset and don't rub on auto x so he shouldn't rub at all. Just add some camber to the front I would run 215 instead of 205 if your offset is that high
