P5 Tire, Rim size question, please help

[G_MAN75]

I posted this up b4 , but i never had the offset measurement,
and i do now. I have a 16x7.5 rim with a 45mm offset. I was wondering what size of tire i should/have to get.
I know that the factory tire is probably not wide enough.
Also want to know how low i can go when i get some springs...
I'm thinking 2" spools might be to much so maybe eibachs 1.2 1.6 drop would be good.


need some input please
Thanks Tony

I'm not sure about this but I don't think a 45 offset will work for a 7.5 inch rim. You may need a 48 offset so you don't rub on the fender

if you do NOT drop it...you MIGHT get away with the +45 using a 205 width tire.....

but by far.....a +48 would be better.....if you want to go wider than a 205....say a 215.....a +48 or better offset will be REQUIRED.
