opinions needed

alright, so ive been putting off buying rims because i cant seem to come to a decision.... and plus im kind of a noob when it comes to wheels

i have a 08 orange spot at stock height. i plan on keeping it that way, but its a possibility that'll change.

heres the rims - Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct

for tires should i go with 205/45/16 ????
or maybe 40?

any tips, opinions would be appreciated. thanks!!!

Hrm...well I believe those are 40mm offset, so if you drop you *may* have some rubbing issues.

The closest rotating diameter to stock height is 205/50/16. 205/45 will be a bit too small so your odo and speedo will be off a bit (too fast)...205/40 would be way too small, imo. At stock height, 205/50 would probably look best.

yeah the offset is 40mm. thanks for the info.... i saw a pic on here of a car with 16s and 205/40 with stock height... and looked pretty much perfect(in the pic at least) but i figured they would be too small.
