Those could have win written all over them!
As for offset and tire size that depends on the look you are trying to achieve.
195/40 or 195/45 Front
195/45 or 205/45 Rear

Re: new wheel (britishrocco)

Hey Danny. Those will look sick on your car!
I would do a 195/45 in the front and a 205/40 in the back. With 16s your going to need all the clearance you can get.
Good luck. Can't wait to see it. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: new wheel (sciroccos4lifewife)

Let me chime in with agreement on these wheels. Dead sexy.
I am running 16s, 16x7 in the front, 16x8 in the rear. I do rub a little bit when either carrying passengers or when I'm loaded with tools and beer and heading to Cincy. Other than that, only on large bumps.
With spacers/adapters, I'm at ET +27 in the rear, +30 in the front. I have 205/45-16 tires all around. I think the tire size Personally, I would recommend 205/45-16 for you in the front, for sure. you do in the rear is going to be a personal preference based on stretch and profile. 9 inch rears are going to be a little hard to pull off, mostly because of the offset. With an 8-inch rear wheel and +27 offset, I am literally millimeters away from the springs in the back. If you have coilovers, I imagine that the springs are going to have a tighter diameter, but you will still have to play around with it. To clear the springs, they might poke a bit. If I were you, I'd probably buy a set of 10mm spacers just in case.
Regardless, if you can fit them, they are going to look amazing. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
