well. you can retain the stock rolling radius pretty easily on 16 inch rims.. 17's you will loose the rolling radius at 205/40 17 which is 595mm. stock is 578mm. with 16" you can use 195/45/16, 205/40/16, 215/40/16, 225/40/16, 235/35/16, 245/35/16, and 255/35/16 some of the sizes are a pain to get like the 255/35/16 very rare.. others are normal treads like 195/45, 205/40 and 215/40.. and all are very near to origonal RR, so no rub if the offset is correct, you could always space out the 215's + 5mm if they rubbed. these are easy to get hold of.. id suggest 185/50(stock) to 215/40 on front and for the back all depends on what you intend to use it for and how much power is going through them. not many have dragged the conversion yet so traction is really a shot in the dark! stu?

moved to wheel section :thumbsup:

I chose TSW Apex 16s with 205/45 tyres. They are 5 spokes which gave good clearnce for my Willwood 4pot calipers with Corrado discs on the front. Tyre clearance on full lock is about 7mm from the front strut. you could have wider rubber on the back if you wanted.

I apriciate the help but do any of you know what a good company is to order those rim's tpo get to the united state's? I'm sending an e-mail to one company but all I can find is europian dealer's. I think I'm going to try out the 205 45's with stock 3sgte installed. If I don't get any traction off those I could always put chunk's of lead in the rear bumper lol.
