The 2nd part of your question isn't to clear. You have a 205 50 16 but you need to know the widest tire to put on your 205 I think I know what your trying to ask but I am not sure

WTF? The lightest wheel they list is 15.6 lbs and those are not even drag wheels.

Also, the smallest size they list is 17, and you do not want big wheels for drag racing. He is asking about (for example) those Weld drag wheels you see on RWD domestics that weigh like 8lbs out back with the skinny wheels in the front that probably weigh 5 lbs. Though I don't know what they have for FWD, I'm sure there is stuff available.

i was giving my tire size 205 50 16 to give you an idea of how lowered the car was so you didnt list too wide of a tire, i realize i cannot fit a bigger than 205 tire on this rim, thats why i listed lightweight drag rims/slicks, do they make 5 lug lensos, i have the five lug conversion on my 4th gen.
