I have 16" Enkei rims on mine with 205/50R16 Pirelli P700 tires. They look kickass and have even caught the eye of a few breasted teenegers https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Your tires look bigg ..Like truck tires..do they rub?



And do you have the GSLSE bolt pattern?and whats the offset on the rims..

I like the 205/50/15 setup on treceb's 15 inch rims.... You could have fooled me if you told me they were 16's... I have pics of a first gen with 17's on it,,, as soon as I find a power supply for my home computer (lightning hit a transformer in front of my house and rendered my computer useless,,, what are the odds??? Turn off your computer during lightning stroms) I'll load a pic of the car....

i just don't understand how anything bigger than these 13's doesn't rub against the front wheel well...there just doesn't look like there is any space!

Plus one, plus two...the diameter of the rim increases, but the sidewall of the actual rubber decreases so that your overall tire height is relatively the same. I'm running Weds Autobahns and up front, they're fitted with 205/50/15 rubber. I had to roll the fenderwell lip on the inside to stop the rubbing, no spacers here, amigo... B)

I had a blue 84 at work a few weeks back had some off the wall name rim, he was running 205/40R16 it looked real nice
