best size/offset (noob)

I was planning on buying some wheels soon.

i was going to go with 16x7 16x8 +35 both

my car is N/A FC bone stock engine (teh slow) I want to go with 16s because tires are cheaper and better gas milage if that even effects it opposed to 17s

any suggestions?

best sizing is a loaded question with alot of opinions and alot of different correct answers

i suggest the following
get some used FD wheels
buy stuff from rishie and bolt them on

Hello

1-I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a '64 Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I could get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme of ways to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean upon the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, skibobble
Got hit with a bottle
And put in the hospital, for talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcome with my thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really wack, What
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is the bomb night
With a hood rat you can hold tight
But really tho' on figuero
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'm gonna have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 to the 105
Get off on Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive
Livin' in a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller (3)

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should know just how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like that
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish, I wish, I wish...

Couldn't resist, though I hate the gangsta wheel fitmit (encludes ghetto assed "dirifto fucktarded mad 12" wide wheel and 235 rubber yo!!MegA FaT LiP!!!)

Ohh, my bad, I forgot everyones not as old as me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UyIBa3Q89QY 1995 biotches

BTW just get 16X8 +35 (+35~30) all around, at least you'll beable to rotate them, have wider wheels/more rubber on the ground.

Dick??? you kidding right, re-read what I wrote, its just rib rubbing on the "baller status" so chill out. The dorifto comment was made for the idiots who will respond (ohh wait, one already did) to your thread and convince you that you have no ballz or have a small ***** unless you run -50 offset 18X12 wheels with 215/35/18 rubber.

225/50/16 would be optimal, you might need to stick with a 30 offset. After a search on tirerack.com, theres a TON of tires in that size (over 83 different tires in that size). Stock being 205/60/15 = 24.69" tall and 8.07" wide vers the 225/50/16 which is 24.86" tall and 8.86" wide.

FD 16x8 wheels are light as hell. and cheap as hell.

in other words, good performance for a great price.

if you wanted something comparable in aftermarket you'd have to spend alot of moola.

im sorry but baller is a term not used with road race cars
baller is in terms with big bling and shine

get my point


and ballin on a budget isnt ballin at all
its buyin fake **** and trying to play it off as the real deal

u buy LV out of korea for $25.99?
