http://www.machiii.net/wheels/rota_subzero.html

i like these wheels in steel grey, but not sure weather to get 16s or 17s.

the 16s are 16x7, so i guess i would use 225/55/16? and will the 40 offset work?

the 17s are 17x7.5, so would i use 245/45/27? or 235/50/17 or 235/45/17? and will the 45 offset work?

and whats the stock offset for the oem 17s 40 or 45?

don't spend money if you are getting 16s or 17s. Get 18s or 19s.

offset is too high for 16s and 17s you mentioned. Get 30-35mm.

I'm about to pickup a couple 16" Rota Slipstreams myself.
Check groupbuycenter in addition to Mach3 - they've got some Rota deals

i was told the stock offset is 45, is that true? 30-35 is them too small isnt it?
the reason i want 16or17 is for light weight and chaper tires.

if you like the tucked in look, 45 is ok. I don't like my rims to be tucked in. Personal preference I guess.
