RE: 16" Rims on 4kq's

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@classic.msn.com>]

You will never fit 225's on a 4kq unless you do some serious bodywork.  The 
widest you can possibly fit is maybe a 215 but I doubt it.  I also doubt that 
just any old 16x7.5" wheel will work even with a 205.  I have seen several 
listers that have had problems with 7.5's without enough offset.  Mine are 
16x7 et 35 and are very tight inside and out.  My tires are 205/45/16 and the 
rolling diameter is also critical as they will rub in the back if they are too 
tall. I have H&R springs that lower it as much as Eibachs.

Can anyone running 16" rims on a 4kq, preferably with Eibach Pro Kit
springs, provide me with any thoughts or comments on rim widths and tire
sizes you're running.  I'm thinking of a 16x17.5" w/probably a
225/40ZR16 Dunlop SP Sport 8000.  TIA!!
