Damn....sorry Mark. For some reason I thought 15's were ideal for the MSM in finding multiple tire choices. Good luck with your search!
Those are the RPF-1's, right? I keep hearing that you can get them with a completely flat face with no wheel lip, or with a lip.
Yeah... as long as you're running smaller than 225, there are plenty of choice. Ideal size being 225... yeah, nothing much.

40mm....16" are available too...the smaller wheel may look better too.

i'd love to see that on the ground! so teach me about offset..(braindead..i can get the wheel i want 16"x7" in 33, 35, 40 and i can get an16"x8" but only in 38mm offset??
In general terms, offset is how far a wheel is pushed out from the hub, thus the lower the number the further the wheel moves to the corners. Go to far and you may rub. Also factor in wheel width and tire size.
That's what my deal was with those other wheels I had on my RX-8. Just too wide a tire and low offset.

Its actually how far the HUB is pushed from the rims centerline...
Google FTW:
Offset is the distance from a wheels hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel. There are three types of offset:
Zero: The hub mounting surface is even with the center line of the rim.
Positive: The hub mounting surface is more towards the front and generally the style wheel used with FWD vehicles.
Negative: The hub mounting surface is toward the back side of the wheel’s center line.

Actually, there is an awesome calculator for it... One moment please.

so a 16x8 with a 38mm offset (oem is 40 on a 17x7 rim) with the cah lowered 1.3 inches should work fine

should be fine... it will stick out about 15mm more than stock... a fender roll MIGHT be in order depending on the clearance you have now
Here is what I got:
17x7 +40 with 205/40R17 (Stock I'm assuming?)
16x8 +38 with 215/45R16
When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 60.4mph (97.2km/h): 0.7% faster.
Package is 3 mm (0.1'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Package will stick out 7 mm (0.3'') farther. Acceptable for most cars.
Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 2 mm. Almost no difference.
I hope that helps Mark.

hmm 7mm? my math must be off....
1 inch wider rim... = 1/2 inch each way... 1/2 inch = 12.7mm... plus hes adding 2mm with the change in offset soo... 14.7mm...
oh well
either way, you should be good
