my 16"s have worked great for me; plus if you decide to upgrade your brakes, most kits require a minimum of a 16" wheel for clearence.

IMO 15's on a hatch, 16's on a coupe. For looks that is.

15 inch with a 195 50 series tire. Best combination for handling without too much of a sacrifice of the ride. Tires are less expensive too!

I would go with 15 and 205 tires!
I had 16 on my hatch and it rubbed like a bitch. Plus your car sits higher and if you dont have rolled fenders then they rub really bad!

I have 15" GSR's on my hatch but am considering going to 16" with a 205/50 tire still. Hopefully that will raise up the car enough so the H doesn't scrape so bad. haha

I would go with a 16" rim...not too small, but not too big where you will see any power loss.

As for the tires...I would either go with a 205-40-16 or a 205-45-16...but if you go with the 45 series you may have to roll the fenders because it may rub.

if you plan on having any power then i would recomend atleast 205 for the tires other wise you will have trouble hooking up! I have 15 195/50 and LSD and i still cant hook up! But i also have a mildly built JDM Type R in a 2000 pound car!

15" on a hatchback (92-95) is absolutely hands down the nicest cleanest look and performs the best, wheels are lighter, tires are cheaper, have more wheel well clearance to lower it more if you want. it just flat out is the perfect size, 16's on an eg is pushing it, but still aight.

how about no wheels

you can drive your car on hopes and dreams

because if you need help asking what size wheel you want, you shouldnt be driving.

its your car, not ours. it doesnt take that much common sense to figure out how much your car is lowered to figure out what size wheel/tire combo would fit.

my god just lock this thread
