    Re: 16 x 7" wide rims with 205/40

    Messy- I chose 15's cause I was really worried about 16's being to wide at 7 inches. I'm just not taking a chance cause my car is faily low to the ground.

    roodo2- I got a tire & wheel package. It looks my first order went through & they took close to 5 bills out my bank account. Got to call them in the morning at straighten that out. I was doing an oil change on my car tonight, & found out I need to get BOTH rear upper control arms & one upper ball joint. (on my lude arms). Never ending maintenance.

    I'm glad I did get the exposed lug nut ones. I'm pretty happy with how they look.

    Thanks Roger. I'm glad I took your advice on which ones to get, cheaper is not allways better in the long run. I plan on putting them on today, as soon as my wife gets home. Her damn car is in the way to transport them in my truck. She's gone with her dad to look at a cat. I don't think I feel like fighting 2 rims in the trunk & 2 in the back seat,or messing around with a jack. Plus, I like to use a torque wrench. (all at work & I have shop keys)

    Re: 16 x 7" wide rims with 205/40

    I might snap some good pics this weekend. My wife thinks the car looks totally different now. Personally, I impressed the way it looks. See people looking over checking my car out driving down the road. Sure beats the hell out of stock steelies. Now I need to finish up some other issues with it.
