Best wheel size?

[asshanson]

Your widest tire is going to depend on the offset of the wheel. The higher offsets like mine (+45) are going to stick under the fender more. So if you run a low offset you'll be able to run a wider tire that doesn't rub inside the fender.

..and the wheel sticks out farther..my offset is a bit lower then andrew's, but I also have an extra inch of width on him.

Why 16's ? what width?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

16s or 17s for all around best wheel size. But it depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Do you need traction or for it to ride nice, etc. 17s are a decent street and road race size. 15s and 16s are better for people who launch a lot or drag race.

I have some Lenso 17" wheels on my 2G and I think they are only 7" wide. Which isn't quite wide enough for 17". 7.5" would be better. I would rather have some 16s though, so I could put some decent drag tires on them. They are white also, which is fairly out of style nowdays, but it's a white car, so it doesn't look horribly rediculous. I had them on my wifes car(silver) back in 02 or 03 during a trip to the drag strip and they looked pretty bad.

It just depends on if your looking for performance or looks or whatever.

I want to get some 15x7-8 or 16x7-8 soon.
I always thought 15's were too small, but I like the beefy tire look.

Thanks for the input! I ended up getting the OEM Evo BBS for my 2g :) now I just have to decide on a summer tire.
