Question 16" rota(grids-w/ low offset)fit???

will 16" rota-grids w/ low offset fit my 07 Suzuki FORENZA with apex lowering springs?
what size tires should i have?or that will fit without rubbing
if they do fit,will this look alright? I don't want a very big gap between the tires and the fenders.

wheel size- 16x8.0
lug pattern-114.3
offset -what will fit 10/20

they will fit and they will look gravy....i dont know about the wider wheels, but my 17x7's have an offset of 42.

you'll need to get tires that will give you the same overall wheel size. there won't be any difference in wheel gap if you get the right tire size. if you get the wrong tire size, then your speedometer will be off

I was looking at those tires as well... The only concern I would have is wether or not the fenders would need to be shaved or not... But they would look amazing, plus the added grip would just make everything amazing...

my rims have a 38 offset. in order for the car to drive right you want to offset to be around the factory offset. plus if changed much you run the risk of rubbing

**same offset as factory wheels in relation to the width. The wider you go the lower the offset.

8" wide wheels aren't ment for our car, but I just got the rear to barley fit with a 5" drop and 235mm tires and EXTREAMLY rolled fenders that crack tons (I probably won't crack the fronts now that I've done it before though). I wouldn't recommend going bigger than 7.5" width, which is perfect. Just because then you won't have to be as sensative with the offset, plus if your not gonna fix up your performance allot then 8" wide wheel is just extra weight and money. Unless your gonna do all the bolt on we have available, I'd just stick with a 215mm tire on a 7.5" wide wheel if you can, but you'll be happy with a 7" wide wheel.

+40 to + 45 is pretty good for a 7.5" wide wheel.
+30 to + 35 is good for 8" wide wheel.

A + 42 offset on a 7.5" wide wheel with a 215mm tire you probably could get away with no rubbing even with an extream drop like I have.

btw
