Tire and rim size help

[ep3allen]

Anyone know what the ideal rim and tire sizes for 16 and 17 are without having to roll fenders and also biggest offset? My current height is about 3 finger gap from fender to tire. I'm currently running 16's with tire size of 205/45/16.

"Ideal" is relative. For street, looks, track, stock height, lowered?

Sorry, I forgot to mention, it was more for looks and street driving. Its slightly lowered not sure how low but 3 finger gap between fender and tire.

You might check out some threads with pics and specs. That will give you an idea of what you want and what needs to be done to achieve it. There are a lot of threads on here, clubep3.com , honda-tech.com , etc. Show us what you like and we can then better assist you.

For looks you can go with a not so thick tire and wheel with a nice offset and get a sweet look for less that looks nice and wide.
