Guidelines for choosing aftermarket wheels/tires
 

1. Any wheel with 42 to 48 mm minimum offset will install with out rubbing on an undropped suspension Fit: 15x7, 16x7, 17x7 with tires max section 205, i.e. 205/50x15, 205/45x16, 205/40x17 tires. Max tread width 7".

2. Stick with tires about 23.5" diameter to avoid problems with ground clearance and inside fender interference or speedo/odo significant errors. All the above are good.

3. Any wheel with 45 to 48 mm offset will install without rubbing on a reasonably dropped suspension Fit: 15x7, 16x7, 17x7 with tire sizes above.

4. If seller doesn't certify the fitment also check the hub bore is 58 mm or 2 and 5/16". 57 mm may work too, but not 56 mm. And, of course, check for caliper clearances.

Anyone found wheel/tire combos outside these limits to work? We'd like to know.

If you choose narrower or smaller tires there is some room for less offset but not much.

heh sick in tired of people asking "does this wheel fit?"

OK good to know. Since I am getting the minor rub issues with mine, Discount Tire told me they will ship me new wheels and cover the amount to get the new ones mounted and balanced, pretty good service if you ask me. Now to see if they have something I like in the offset I need! Hmmm

Now there is a gold supplier. Virtually all of our aftermarket specialty tires have come from DiscountTire for several years. And I know they have 45 mm wheels; just depends on what style you like.

I kinda have 3 in mind

This one has a 42mm offset

And possibly

that has a 43mm offset

My initial first choice was the Konig Britelite, but that only has the same 40mm offset as the ones I have now, they were out of stock and way backordered, so guess it was good I didnt wait months only to find out that one rubbed as well.
