Default In need of an UPGRADE

Hi. I have a 95' Del Sol si and i wanna upgrade my rims and tires to something that looks a little more beastly. The ones i have on there now are too skinny and i want something different.
I need opinions!

Thank you

No need to have wide tires on the rear of a FWD vehicle... If the tread is good on the tires then leave them as they are.

If you want a 16" wheel, then do a 205/40, 215/40, or 205/45. The 205/45 is obviously gonna be your tallest option, 215/40 being the widest.

A 195/40 is 1/2" shorter than factory, that will change a speedo. About the 195/45, sorry - I had just came out of the stretched tire bullshit thread and I was still in that mindstate of that tire being mounted on a 9" wheel. I see that size posted and I automaticlly think stretch haha
