Proper Wheel Sizing
I was hoping that some people here could enlighten me on the ideal rim/tire setup for a daily driver Honda putting out 250+ whp. I've already limited my search down to 15" or 16" rims, under 12 lbs apiece. I plan on maintaining stock wheel/tire diameter as well. For my horsepower level should I go with a 6.5" or 7" wide rim? For proper handling, should I have the same width rims in the front and rear, or would 7" up front and 6.5" in the rear be alright?
Thanks for the input guys!

Re: Proper Wheel Sizing (mskibbz-T)
The rim width is dictated by the size of tire you want to run. Generally a wider wheel for a given tire width will perform better. Find the specs for the tire that you are thinking about and use that to guide your decision.
