16x8 +20 wheels. Which tire ???

So I will order this wheel setup but I dont know which tire to buy... I need a little bit of stretch and I think 205 tires would rub a lot ! Im on eibach sportline so Im not as low as some with coilovers. Which tire should I get for my daily ?

Thanks !

195/50 or 195/45 will give a slight stretch and help with clearance.

I've seen a fit with the same wheel and 205/45 tires so I just wanna know if smaller tires were ok on this wheel. I will go with some 195/45 tires I think!

Thanks

LOL SRS DUDE?

I would run 195 40s...

Im currently running 205/40/16 all around on my 16x8.5+20 16x9 +14 and I doubt Ill rub at all... Its all about the camber/stretch/offset...

Offset is everything bro... Pics of wheels?

Gold IMO -


And I have BBS RSs... Since you want a stretch and your wheels arent that wide, Id go with the 195... small stretch, still safe.
