What is the width of the stock wheels on the 5th Gen SH and the base? I want to get the Falken Azenis in a 215/45 16, but the specs say I need a 7" wheel. I thought the were 6.5" wide, but I just measured them and they seem wider. Where is the measurement taken----inside the lip of the rim, or to the outside of the wheel?

Thanks in advance.

 

5th gen wheels are 16" x 6.5" +55 offset. The rim is measured on the inside at the base of the bead (as I understand it). Be careful about plus sizing tires. A 7" width would be much better for the 215, however offset becomes an issue unless you get rims with a +45. In any case even lowered on Neuspeed Sport springs you should have no problems.

You will be fine.. I run 225s on my 15x6.5" stock 4g wheels.. 7 would be more ideal, but the difference will me minimal..
