Re: Wheel and tire sizing.

[Eric L Ellis <elf16v@juno.com>]

If you are determined to get 16" rims, you should reconsider the tire
size. The plus 2 size should be 205/40-16. You will be VERY limited in
the brand choices for this size however. I know...I have them. (TSW Hock
R's 16x7½)
Kevin has the right idea, I would recommend 15" wheels with 195/50-15's
(Kevin and I WOULDN'T agree on the tire brand though) 
I love the 16's but with normal roads, they bend if you sneeze. That
sucks BIG TIME!

I hope this helps you with your decision.

Good, bad....I'm the guy with the gun!
