Anyone besides Rotorhead1 running 16" rims on there FB?

If so what size rim and tire are you running? 205/50/16? 16x7 or 8?
Thanks

 

I am putting 16x7s on my 85 SE next week. I'll let you know how it goes. I am pretty sure I am going to have to go with longer wheel studs, at least in the back. Front may be ok, but I am also using 1/4 inch spacers because of the +42 offest. I went with 205/45/16 Toyo Proxe 4's. Thats close to maintaining the original diameter in both directions(larger or smaller) 50s are .2 larger, 45s are .2 smaller diameter. Everyone I talked to said go slightly smaller rather than slightly larger.

Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. I am hoping with the lowered (1 inch) but stiffer suspension, and the spacers I will be in good shape. I put the rears on already and could probably get by without spacers, just longer wheel studs. Pretty sure I am going to need the spacers in the front, but thats a function of the wheel offset, not tire size.

 

i had 17's in mine with 205-40-17 but i swap to 18's with 215/35 in fronts and 224/40 in rears.

 

16x7 38 or 40mm fits perfect all around no mods

don't go with a 7.5" or bigger it will rub

don't use another offset cos it will rub, or look stupid sticking outside the wheel well

 

16x8 225/50/16 (R) 205/45/16 (F) 35 or 38mm offset (can't remember) does not stick out.

some rubbing on hard bumps in the rear.

 

I am running Rota N1R 16" rims with 205-40-16 Frt and 215-40-16 Rr. I can't tell you what offset they are as they were on the car when purchased. I can tell you though that they don't rub at all.

personally i like 16s look weird. not proportional. kinda like putting 20s on well. anything.

 

sweet ride do you tow anything with that tow hitch

 

Can you post a picture of the car? Next time you remove the wheel look on the back or front of the rim for numbers.
Thanks

 

Here is what I had on my gsl-se 15x8" panasports. And now gonna go 16x7" panasports.
