if you are brave enough, run a staggered setup.

so 8 in front and 7 in the rear, it will rotate better, less understeer and more traction for lanuch, etc

but the killer here is you need to find the perfect drop and offset for the front, it might rub if you just stick in some random rims.

i was going to get the 42mm offset for the rims. they had either 42 or 32 offset for both the 16x7 and the 16x8.
