Alright guys and gals here it is. I'm looking at a set of wheels. 16x7 fronts 16x8 rear both +33 offset. For my drop I'm going to keep it right around 2 inches and I don't wanna get crazy with negative camber. I will be getting my fenders rolled and I wanna know what the widest tire I can run, nothing wider than 225. and i do want a decent sidewall so no rubber bands for me. Any help is appreciated, I searched around for about 2 hours but i want to make certain I'm getting things set up right.

why are you staggering your wheels like that?

the only set of bbs rs wheels i could find for a decent price is staggered

if its not a trend choice i would suggest putting them on the front. with a 225/50

Agreed, but it sounds like a looks set up, not a handling set up.

If you say no more than 225, than you should just do it
and make it fit

I got 16 x 7 replica RS setup with 225/50/16 with +35 offset at 1.25" to 1.5" drop. Fronts are okay even with adult passenger, but rear rubs slightly with ppl in the back seat (mostly going over small bumps). Originally had 2" drop, but rubbed like mofo, and I had a body shop quote me too much for a ligit fender roller work, so I just decided to raise it up to where they're sitting now. But with 2" drop + 225 tires, most likely, the fronts will rub. Unless, you get a nice camber going in the fronts (I don't think you can roll the front fenders w/o removing the fender liners...).

Yes. They're 225/50/16 Falkens. I'm currently looking at a set of 17"s, and I'm thinking 205 or 215's...

those wheels need a bigger lip too imo... they would look beter
they also look concave

I'm currently running 205's. My set up came w/ the car when i bought it, but I will be replacing the rims/tires come this summer. I will be sticking with 205's though as they look good w the car

I agree, they'd look much nicer with deeper lip.
