Lets See Those 16's Please!!!

[BKJT05]

one things i dont want to do it rub, it will just annoy me. i got time to keep looking for the right size. i think i did find a set of wheels that had a 48 offset in a 16x7

 

[BKJT05]

im really liking these wheels....16x7 with a 48 offset and only $170 each

hopefully these will be available when im ready to buy

 

[JoshP5]

48's safe. How much do those weigh?

idk, ill check it out.

 

[BKJT05]

just checked and it doesnt say

 

[BKJT05]

they say forged so i bet pretty light

 

[velothree]

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

Whoa, those are wicked light. Link to where you found them?

 

[Sliver5]

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.

so they would rub on the fender or on the fender lining? I just don't want them to be rubbing on the shocks.

 

[BKJT05]

i think ive decided on which wheels im going to get....

 

[GreyMan]

nice, how much do they weigh?

 

[BKJT05]

i think the 16's weight 15-16 lbs!!!

 

[BKJT05]

i think those are the wheels on a white pro5 and i think it looks good. those are what im getting!!! 16's too for performace.

^^^ Those look like 17s and I don't think they are 5Zigens either. Maybe Gram Lites even?

*EDIT: No, I think you're right, just 17x7s

 

[GreyMan]

i think the 16's weight 15-16 lbs!!!

k, thanks. i'm pokin around for 16s, 12lbs if possible

well whatever they are i like the look. if his are 17's i think 16's would still look good. idk why im looking for rims again right now anyways, its fall and im not buying until after winter so i got time to make up my mind.

well if you got money to spend, look at the gram lites! they are light

Oh yeah, I definitely agree. I was originally going to try to go for the 5Zigens in 16x7 but the only offset I could find for that size was +42 which I think would be a little tight. I ended up seeing some Gram Lites 57c which look very similar but have an offset of +46. Couple those with some 225/45 rubber... mmm, can't wait. Need to save some money.

I'm so sick of these MSP wheels...

i wish i had baught 45 series tires, but i baught 205/50/16?? i think i might call discount tire and see if they can change it? They should since its been a month and they havent shipped my wheels and tires yet!

I want to pull the trigger on some Enkei RPF1's 16x7 +43mm for my P5 on Espelirs. Rishie's fitment guide doesn't make mention of 16's and I'm curious if 205/50/16's will fit. 215/45/16's? I'd really hate to roll the fenders :/

I have 16X7 rota's with an offset of 45 running 205/50/16. The drivers rear rubbed under load and had to roll that fender. I would say that enkei's will rub even more and possibly on other corners as well.

 

[SeminoleMan]

I was grabbing at straws since I'd read everywhere that +42mm were close and was hoping the +43mm would be just enough. I really like the thought of the 16's, but I guess I will just rock the 17x7.5 +48mm.
