Lets See Those 16's Please!!!

[CTt3P5]

Those are rims from the tribute, correct?

Yup, they are takeoffs from an '05 model. Picked them up dirt cheap off of ebay.

sweet rims everybody, keep'em coming!!

 

[BKJT05]

im thinking about some new rims tho

let me know if you do get new rims and want to sell these. would save me time and effort of having mine painted or coated

 

[BKJT05]

does anybody know what offset i need to look for with 16's??? i know 17 and 18's are 42+, but is it the same with 16's. I found a sweet deal on 16's, but they are only a 40 offset

Good thread! I'm also lookin for some 16's. Put some heavy a$$ 17's on my llast car and I didn't really like how much it affected the performance, so I'm lookin for some light 16's.

If they're 16x7s a 40mm offset will rub.

Looks like you're running spacers, too.

Nope, only thing different on the rolling setup from stock is the springs and I am running 205/45 tires.

They are kinda dirty here but it's all I could find on my computer here at work.

16x6.5+42, 12 pounds, forged, $200.

^^^ That offset worries me. Even with a 6.5" wide wheel you're still going to be running a wider tire I assume: 205/50? IMO, I would only go for something +45 and higher.

 

[JoshP5]

They'll be fine with 195/50s or 205/45s.

 

[Sliver5]

I found some rims I'm interested in, they're 16x7, with a +42 off set, would these rub at all? I haven't lowered the car at all still at stock height. I would be putting 205/50/16 tires on them also.

i like those, do they have them in black??? link??? i think with a 42 offset id be ok with 205/50's

 

[JoshP5]

Link.
205/50s on +42 is definitely a gray area. I'm running 205/50s on +40, I rolled the fenders, and I'm still rubbing. But my tires' section width is unusually large. More normal 205/50s might squeeze right in there.
