thanks lol
15s or 16s
if running 17s go for a lower profile such as 40 as this will reduce the rolling radius
actually your best off running 40 profile on any larger wheel over stock
also reduces bumpsteer unless you have rose jointed track rod ends

On standard brakes 15's would be a good size, as for tyres ive had kuhmo ku31, toyo t1r that have been pretty good for road use.

Depends on what width wheel rim you have.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but what offset are you running?
I'm looking to run a 215/40/16 on a et35 wheel and just wondering if I might run into any rubbing issues? Specifically on the strut/arch liners.
Think it will be fine but don't want to go ahead and then have to get spacers.

I was hoping the lower offset would be the saving grace. I know a 205 on an et35 fits, it must be close though, but the tyres I want aren't available in that width. Need to go narrower or wider.
