You should be good with a 16x8 wheel as long as the offset is under +40.

im just debating now between +35 and +38 and possibly running a differnt tire.

you're barely going to notice a dirrerence between 35 and 38 lol if you use a 215 or maybe even a 225 you should be fine. unless you want to stretch... :tehe:

the tire calculator i used said that any thing 3% or more smaller is unsafe and would throw off your speedo and what not brake failure.

if you want the wheels to sit like the pic in the original post, you'll need a +25ish offset.
