16's look dope. but make sure you get a 225/45/16 tire ( i THINK) cant remember off the top of my head. but i have never rubbed and my car is like a 2 1/2 if not more drop.

you will rub for sure with that wide of a tire. 205/45/16 is ideal, 215/45/16 is pushing it

READ THE RESPONSES THEY JUST GAVE YOU.

What exactly are you going to gain using an 8" wheel with a 225 tire, when you can fit 225's on a 7" wheel?

euro style eh? i can't figure out why ppl with FWD want wider rims in the back.

you CAN run a 15x8, and a 195 tire.... but it just looks dumb.
