new wheels ! but i need your help first!

Sup all I'm planning on ordering some new wheels this weekend (yes!). Because its such a large investment and because im ordering them, i was hoping i could run the sizes by u guys. I know Bleach and Ice know a bit about the sizing. Will 16x7.5-4x100mm wheels with a +35mm offset, modern-motorsport spacers/adapters. As for tires i havent decided on the width yet. Are these the right profile ratio and will they all fit?

205-55-r16
215-50-r16
225-50-r16

I calculated the profiles using a tire size calculator, they all should have the same circumfence as stock ±1%

My Z is lowered with the tokico performance springs, i duno if that restricted clearance with the struts/shocks?

Whats your setup again Ice?

Thanks!

Sounds good to me. I'd suggest the 215/50-16 from your choices listed.

your set up should be fine... im running 225/45 zr 17 on mine. with the tokico springs and strut combo. so 225 50R 16s should fit just fine on your car.
