Haha that was my first thought too.


Go with 7" or 7.5" if you really want the "stanced" look. But go with 15's not 16's.

195/55-15 or 205/50-15, you will have more variety and better tire options in those sizes.

Wheel diameter has nothing to do with rolling fenders.

The tire aspect ratio stays the same, therefore, whether it be 15s or 16s, it won't matter. Offset, on the other hand, plays a critical role in determining how much should be rolled, pulled, etc.

If the OP doesn't wanna go for the hellacrap retarded look, then I don't see why he wouldn't want an 8 inch wide wheel. Wider wheel = more rubber = more contact patch = more traction. Given that the wheel offsets can accommodate more rubber of course.
